This
stylishly and very eerie thriller stars Lili Palmer as Senora Fourneau,
the severe headmistress of a French boarding school for wayward
young women. The rigid constraints of 19th-century social conditioning
have turned the school into a hotbed of uncontrolled sexual urges.
Soon it is discovered that one by one, the young girls are vanishing.
It is assumed they are sneaking away at night, so the school is
securely locked down at night. But the young women continue to go
missing, as it appears a mysterious assassin is stalking the dark
hallways of the ghostly manor.
Quite intense for its time, this film represented a new boldness
in gothic style among European thrillers which would reach its zenith
during the 1970s.
