Footsteps echoing through London’s foggy streets follow the trail of a great fire that left behind memories reduced to ashes. Years later, as the wax museum reopens its doors and sparks curiosity with its new exhibition, strange cases of disappearances begin to multiply in the town’s dark corners. Director Michael Curtiz masterfully weaves the early aesthetic of the horror and mystery genres, drawing the audience into a gothic labyrinth. The tension truly comes to the surface when the silence echoing in the museum’s shadows is broken by the footsteps of a curious reporter.
