Ghost Son

Stacey and Mark, deeply in love, live on an isolated South African farm. Their home soon turns into a disquieting mansion, as nightmarish presences haunt Stacey. She begins experiencing a frightening dimension in which reality and imagination merge. An elegantly staged ghost story which keeps the Italian tradition of genre cinema alive.
