Directed by Harry Kümel, Malpertuis follows a young man who becomes trapped in a mysterious house inhabited by strange and enigmatic figures. The narrative unfolds through fragmented storytelling and shifting identities, gradually revealing connections tied to myth and hidden realities.

Jan (Mathieu Carrière, Police Python 357), a sailor newly arrived onshore, is unsure about returning to land but makes the journey to visit his childhood home only to find it no longer there. He goes to Bar Venus and joins his friends but an altercation leaves him knocked out cold. He wakes up in Malpertuis, a gothic mansion presided over by his uncle, Cassavius (Orson Welles). All the inhabitants of Malpertuis are waiting for Cassavius to die and the opportunity to inherit his vast fortune. But Cassavius wishes anyone who inherits to stay there forever. Jan investigates as those who leave meet with mysterious deaths. Harry Kümels (Daughters of Darkness) phantasmagoria is a Matryoshka doll of fantastic ideas, realised with stunning photography by Gerry Fisher (The Exorcist III) and scored by Georges Delerue (Contempt).  Newly restored and overseen by Kümel, it is released on Blu-ray for the first time in the world.
