In 1898, strange things happen in a castle not far from the small village of Werst in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania. Twenty years earlier, the castle had been abandoned due to some nefarious dealings there but a shepherd sees smoke coming out of the chimney, which stirs up the village with whispers Chort (a demon) is now occupying the place. Count Franz de Télek, a visitor to the area, becomes intrigued by all this turmoil and decides to investigate. Made for French television and based on the 1892 Jules Verne novel of the same name.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
