Description "Under the clamp of silence, evil is breeding... in a lonely, 19th century country house, two orphaned children come under the malevolent influence of ghostly figures from the past. Wishing only to protect them, a new governess is drawn into the drama. She becomes locked in a life and death struggle, but is ultimately powerless to stop the unfolding events."
