The time and place is 1942 WWII ripped Romania. At a remote mountain castle in World Romania, two evil forces clash - the Nazi SS and an unseen power.
A detachment of the German Army (The Nazi's) are sent to guard an old and mysterious citadel located on a strategic mountain pass.
This fortress has long been reputed by the local people to be haunted by evil spirits and it isn't long before one of the soldiers mistakenly unleashes an unknown force which has been trapped behind the citasdel's walls - until now that is.
Now as one by one the soldiers meet their fate at the hands of this shadowy beast, a mysterious stranger senses the danger from his home in Greece and sets off to the keep to vanquish this godforsaken force of terror.
Now, reaching desperation point, the soldiers have no other alternative than to accept the assistance of a Jewish man and his daughter who know the history of the keep, and hold the skill of being able to translate some manuscripts to assist the vanquishing of the evil spirits.
Little seen on its original release, this stylish chiller from the director of 'Manhunter', 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'Heat' is now something of a cult item
