Malpertuis 10/21/25

In a strange house, strange people await a new spiritual life … or will it be a new imprisonment?  Orson Welles’ Cassavius may be dying, but his will holds the secret lair called Malpertuis under a strange spell. A young man is offered the job of ‘new keeper’ for what might be a strange menagerie of spirits, including three women — all played by star Susan Hampshire. Michel Bouquet and Jean-Pierre Cassel co-star in a Gothic horror from Harry Kümel, adapted from a ‘brilliantly weird’ book by Jean Ray. Is it possible to translate such a strange fantasy to film? On Blu-ray from Radiance Films.
