Synopsis
Aristocratic composer Octave Barron wrote a symphony for the Devil as part of a satanic pact, inspired by murders with the help of his lover and maid Carlotta. For his crimes and devil worshiping he's taken out of his mansion by an angry mop of townsfolk and torn apart with horses.
Years later his niece Gabriella (Jennifer Burns) inherits the estate and discovers the symphony, hiring an unemployed composer name Marius (Ben Cross) to finish it. In the process Carlotta, now and old woman, is contacted by his master's spirit from hell who directs her in how to bring him back in the body of Marius. Things get tense when Gabriella's fiancé Julien arrives, clashing with Marius and showing jelousy. Julien tries to rape Gabriella and Marius kills him.
As Marius finishes the symphony he's taken by the spirit of Barron and Gabriella by Carlotta's spirit. They both have sex even as their reflections show that they're possessed. Soon after Carlotta's spirit left Gabriella's body and goes to hell as Barron intended since the beginning. Gabriella confronts her uncle in Marius body and after a fight Marius dies releasing the spirit of Barron who resurrects his dead body coming out of the grave. But Gabriella still manages to survive causing a fire that destroys the entire mansion and the symphony.
