Synopsis:
This film is an interesting mixture of horror and fantasy with Orson Welles in a small role. Jan and his sister Nancy find themselves in Malpertius, a huge old house owned by their rich uncle Cassavius. On his deathbed, he divides his assets among his heirs in equal parts. However, there is a catch: none of them may leave Malpertius or they will lose their inheritance…
