[edit] Plot

Blood Rites is set in an eerie Victorian mansion where a family has gathered for the reading of a relative's will. The will dictates that three couples must spend the night there to inherit a fortune. Once in the house, they start dying one by one, as people are impaled with pitchforks, decapitated, dismembered, and have their throats hacked open with knives. One scene involves a hunchback eating live rabbits.
