Overview
A scientist comes to believe that evil is a disease of the blood and that the flesh of a skeleton he has brought back from New Guinea contains it in a pure form. Convinced that his wife, a Folies Bergere dancer who went insane, manifested this evil, he is terrified that it will be passed on to their daughter. He tries to use the skeleton's blood to immunise her against this eventuality, but his attempt has anything but the desired result.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Gothic fever dream where pseudoscience becomes the language of a man's deepening madness and cruelty. This is horror as psychological unraveling, mixing Victorian-era horror sensibilities with genuinely disturbing ideas about inheritance and control.
