Description: Writer and widower Paul (Hardy Krüger from Nun of Monza) takes in his gloomy house his new bride (Britt Ekland from Satan’s Mistress), who soon notices that with his 12-year-old son Marcus is something wrong.

Writer attempts to appease his fiancee lead nowhere, she finds more and more evidence against Marcus in conversations with school teachers, a psychiatrist, his mother Sarah died …

Curious “Night Child” can be called, but no more …
