The Murdered House

After World War I, a young ex-soldier, Sébastien Monge, returns to his home village. Ignorant of his past, he learns that, 24 years before, his entire family was slain in their home one stormy night. Only Sébastien, then a four-month old baby, was spared. Three immigrant workers were charged with the killings and executed, even though it later transpired that they were innocent. Sébastien Monge vents his anger by demolishing his family house by hand. As he does so, he discovers a small casket containing money and three credit notes, each signed by a prominent member of the village community. Realising that these three must be the men who killed his family, Sébastien decides to take his revenge by killing them in turn. He begins with the wealthy Gaspard Dupin, who lives in a grand house with his nymphomaniac daughter Charmaine and his son Patrice, a war veteran who was disfigured during active service. Whilst Sébastien is being seduced by Charmaine, Dupin is killed by someone else. Sébastien’s next victim, the miller Didon Pujol, is also murdered before he has a chance to take his revenge. Sébastien realises that someone is watching his every move and is going to extraordinary lengths to protect him. But who, and why..? —filmsderance
