whom he psychologically manipulates in a claustrophobic house—until the victims
realize that only by combining their strengths can they survive and outsmart him.
SYNOPSIS:
A billionaire, bored of wealth and excess, makes a pact with a mysterious witch: he
receives five powers that he can assign to five people in exchange for his fortune. He
meets a young woman and her four sisters, seduces and traps them in his gothic
mansion, each afflicted with a unique “weakness”—loss of sight, hearing, speech, smell,
or psychological dependence.
As they struggle to understand their circumstances, paranoia and tension escalate.
Gradually, the sisters realize that their weaknesses complement each other, and they
unite to devise a plan to outwit their manipulator. The story ends on a cliffhanger, with
one sister contemplating how to continue the cycle of power, setting up a potential
second season.
Good movie
