The Bloodhound

Francis (Liam Aiken) has come to see his old friend Jean-Paul Luret (Joe Adler), a wealthy recluse who has asked for him and will not say why. Patrick Picard, adapting Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," keeps Francis inside the house, where Vivian (Annalise Basso) and the staff watch him arrive. Money cannot buy a man out of what he fears, and the longer Francis stays, the more plainly that shows.
