About the film:
A teenage girl named Oshare (nicknamed "Gorgeous" by her friends) discovers that her widowed father has begun dating again. Furthermore, Oshare's father states he intends to bring his new fiance on their yearly summer vacation. Furious, Oshare impulsively invites her friends to come with her to her aunt's house, despite not having seen the aunt in years. Arriving, they find the aunt, a wheelchair user, and agree to fix up her run down estate located in the woods. However, unknown to anyone, the aunt is secretly a spirit who feeds off the flesh of "marriageable" young women who stumble upon her home. Possessing her niece, the aunt murders the girls one by one with help from her bewitched house. In the end, the aunt takes over Oshare's body so she can go on waiting for her long lost fiancee, who went missing in action during World War II.
