Set during World War II, a German army garrison is sent to guard a mountain pass in a village in Romania's Carpathian mountains and sets up barracks in an ancient stone fortress. Two of the soldiers unwittingly release a mysterious entity that kills or corrupts those within its influence, drawing the attention of a Gestapo commander, a Jewish scholar, and a mysterious traveller.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie is a WWII-era horror/fantasy film centered on a demonic entity in a Romanian fortress. While it had a 'Holiday Release,' the plot, setting, themes, and iconography are entirely unrelated to Christmas."
