Weird baroque epic based on Jean Ray's classic novel about the haunted house Malptertius where the old Cassave (performed by none other than Orson Welles) has emprisoned the ancient Greek Gods.
Overview:
As a weary sailor named Jan (Matthieu Carrière) sets foot on dry land, he is mysteriously abducted and awakens in the isolated mansion of Malpertuis. There, he is reunited with his sister Nancy (Susan Hampshire) and an eclectic group of distant relatives, each summoned by his dying uncle Quentin Cassavius (Orson Welles). Cassavius wishes to will all of his heirs an equal portion of his fortune. However, in return, each must honor his dying request: They are to remain within Malpertuis for the rest of their lives, the last couple to marry.
Trapped on the grounds of the sprawling mansion, Jan investigates as those who try to flee are dispatched in peculiar ways. Jan slowly spirals into madness as he realizes his uncle’s true intent and the nightmare world of Malpertuis takes hold.
Based on the classic fantasy novel by Belgian author Jean Ray (John Flanders), "Malpertuis" was director Harry Kumel's follow-up to the acclaimed "Daughters Of Darkness".
