Synopsis

Richie Hunter is an attractive American who lives in İstanbul. He meets a stranger, Haldun, who gives him a note with directions. These lead him to visit an aristocrat called Lamia living in a small palace on the Bosphorus. On discovering a piece of parchment Richie finds himself caught up in the intrigues of Lamia’s household. Lamia’s son has died, but Richie has an encounter with the son in a dark passage, and the story unfolds. This film is the first Turkish vampire horror movie, and signals the birth of the movement often known as Young Turkish Cinema. –theinstituteforthereadjustmentofclocks.com
