Highlights
Synopsis
A depraved tale of mystery, murder, magic, madness, and hideous revenge, The Swan Song details the events of a single day from early afternoon to midnight.
Olivia returns with her fiance to the creepy family manor after the funeral of her murdered parents.
Miles desperately tries to get her away from the house and the eerie influences of her secretary, her ever tipsy aunt, a hidebound lawyer, a genuinely scary swami, and a kindly old housekeeper whose nervousness is contagious.
Olivia won't leave until she contacts the spirit of her mother at midnight to learn who committed the ghastly murders.
This shocker is crammed with harrowing suspense and the conclusion is guaranteed to scare the daylights out of your audience.
