## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

England. Bare trees against a grey sky. A single playing card flutters to earth.

An occult investigator dies horribly. An arrogant psychologist disbelieves the supernatural explanations, even as a curse seems to hound him.

Tourneur’s low-budget horror smartly suggests more than it shows.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, slow-burn
