Meridian

After her father dies, Catherine returns to her family's castle in Italy, where her friend Gina is staying while working as an art restorer. The two attend a performance by a travelling troupe of entertainers and invite the whole group back to the castle for dinner. From that night on, Catherine is haunted by visions of a woman killed in the fortress, and she becomes entangled in a strange love triangle involving a man who seems at times repulsive and at other times alluring, and a creature of the night who professes endless love and devotion to her.
