A woman finds herself possessed by the soul of another woman trapped inside a painting. Based on a work by Edgar Allan Poe, aka The Oval Portrait.

Dissatisfied with the family architectural business, a man and his wife pack up and move out to his great-grandfather's old house in the country. While trying to patch it up, the house starts to make it clear to him that it doesn't want him there, but the local church (with some off-kilter practices of their own) seems to take a shine to him.

A plot to murder a rich woman results in her ending up in a catatonic state and buried alive.
