Synopsis:
Elena and Andrea, a young and well-to-do married couple, are travelling by car, chatting to each other. Andrea is an architect and hes taking his wife to their newly bought country house, which she has never seen: its an ancient building and it needs to be restored.Reached their destination, Andrea enters the old gate with his wife, closing it behind them: a huge wood surrounds the mansion and no sound fills the air. Inside the hall Elena is upset at the disturbing atmosphere that pervades the building, whereas her husband is very excited. The ancient portraits on the wall seem to stare at them.
While Elena is unpacking their luggage in the bedroom, Andrea explores the wood. He notes a rusty basement window in the backyard and gets to it: he opens its squeaky door and watches through its grille, but he sees nothing since its too dark. A strange vision suddenly floods in his mind and he starts back with fright, injuring his hand on the doors sharp corner. Some drops of his blood fall on the mansions stones. Strange events start to occur: while Elena is making the bed, an old enigmatic photographic portrait of a woman swings by itself on the bedrooms wall; Elena hears muffled thuds and creaks coming from the mansions basement; she wakes up in the night listening to strange sounds in the bedrooms walls, like someone is scratching them from the inside.Day after day Andrea explores the building, behaving more and more oddly. Elena doesnt understand whats going on: her husband seems to establish a symbiotic connection with the mansion and lets his mind wander, upsetting and frightening his wife. Andrea is attracted by the cellars door and in his head he starts to hear a female voice that tells him to join her. He finally opens the cellars door and goes downstairs into the darkness. Hes very scared, but the call is so strong that he cant stop walking: he hears both his own voice as a child and his mothers stirring dreadful and buried memories. The voice of his mother is the same he heard before in is head: in fact the voice belongs to the mansion, which speaks to Andrea exploiting his memories since it wants him and his wife both. When he goes back upstairs into the sitting room, hes shaken and Elena is disturbed by his behaviour.
After an appalling nightmare where on the bed she is seized by various hands, Elena wakes up terrified: she sees an old woman praying in front of her, the same enigmatic woman of the photographic portrait on the bedrooms wall. Elena runs away from the room screaming in terror. She searches for her husband and founds him standing motionless in front of the opened door of the cellar. She begs for his help, but speechless he grabs Elena and carts her away into the cellar. Here Andrea offers his wife to the entities living downstairs: a lot of people, whom the mansion captured in various epochs to feed on their vital essence. Elena shrieks as loud as she can and the cellars door violently closes, trapping them forever.Time has passed and a new owner arrives at the country house: he enters the old gate, crosses the wood and gets into the hall. Hes a little upset at the disturbing atmosphere that pervades the mansion: he hears a strange sound coming from the walls, like someone is scratching them from the inside. One of the ancient portraits on the wall seems to stare at him...
