Mystery writer Sian Anderson leaves her boyfriend John for three weeks of intense writing in the isolated Greek town of Monemvassia. Upon her arrival in the ancient, deserted, walled-in fortress, she is met by Elias Appleby, the round eccentric landlord who guides her through mysterious underground passageways to the house where she will work. He warns her to stay inside at night because of the killer winds that arrive after dark.

Monemvassia itself — that fortress is doing ALL the work.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mastorakis shot this back-to-back with 'Nightmare at Noon' on the same Greek location, clearly milking that fortress tax credit.
Monemvassia is a real Byzantine ghost town — locals reportedly found the horror filming deeply weird given its actual history of plague sieges.
