A young decadent noble discovers that his family was accustomed to strange incestuous practices that have created strange genetic mutations, reducing his relatives into horrible creatures; he begins to look for them to try to eliminate them all. A now faded Rutger Hauer is the protagonist of this mediocre American horror. It's nothing exceptional but it's watchable from start to finish.
