It’s Christmastime, and a film crew has arrived at the de Luces’ decaying English estate to shoot a movie starring the famed Phyllis Wyvern. But when the local vil-lagers gather during a blizzard to watch the actress perform, the evening delivers a shocking ending: a body strangled to death with a length of film.
