Long winded tale that is not based upon, but similar to an Edgar Wallace or Bryan Edgar Wallace tale about the events in a house that was once a monastery. Not long after the daughter of the owner gets engaged to the owner of the home said owner goes missing and its believed that perhaps he was taken by the spectral Black Abbott said to haunt the grounds. Its the sort of fancy tale where everyone is dressed in tuxes no matter what is going on. An okay thriller the film suffers from padding and in all likelihood you could probably chop out 15 minutes of pointless talk with out ever touching the story. Not bad once it gets going, and recommended with the caveat that it picks up once it gets going.
