In 1916, a shadowy serial killer is targeting women with "afflictions"; one night during a thunderstorm, the mute Helen feels menaced.

In 1916, beautiful young mute Helen is a domestic worker for elderly, ailing Mrs. Warren, whose two adult sons, professor Albert and impudent womanizer Steven, also live in the Warner mansion. Mrs. Warren becomes concerned for Helen's safety when a rash of murders involving 'women with afflictions' hits the neighborhood. She implores her physician, Dr. Parry, to take Helen away for her own safety. When another murder occurs inside the Warren mansion, it becomes obvious that Helen is in danger.—Gary Jackson <[email protected]>

It's the early twentieth century in a small New England town. Helen, for reasons unknown, has become mute. Once a nurse, she, because of her affliction, now works as companion to bedridden wealthy Mrs. Warren, who prefers her to be her regular nurse as opposed to who is her real nurse, Nurse Barker, largely relegated to sitting outside Mrs. Warren's bedroom door waiting for an emergency. Similarly, Mrs. Warren would prefer young Dr. Parry over the town's regular physician, Dr. Harvey, the former who has difficulties in making a living as long as he plays second fiddle to his more seasoned colleague. Friends with Dr. Parry, Helen is secretly in love with him. The mansion is overseen by Mrs. Warren's responsible stepson, Professor Albert Warren. There is open animosity between him and his stepbrother, Mrs. Warren's biological son, the more wild Steven Warren, who comes and goes for long periods. The Professor resents feeling the need to take care of Mrs. Warren, even now when Steven is back as Steven's attention is in the sexual pursuit of the Warren secretary, Blanche. One day when Helen is in town watching a film at the inn, a young woman is murdered upstairs, the third such in short order. The constable is worried about Helen as all the victims have been young women with some sort of disability. What Helen does not know as she makes it back to the isolated mansion is that the murderer has followed her, she and the others there at risk in they largely being on their own as a storm rolls in.—Huggo

Differently-abled women living in a small town at the beginning of the 20th century are becoming the prey of a serial killer. Helen, a mute girl who works for the wealthy Warren family, fears that she could be the next victim of this monstrous menace.—Dragan Antulov <[email protected]>

At the beginning of the 20th century, a serial killer is terrorizing a small town, killing women with imperfections. In the Warren manor, mute housemaid Helen nurses Mrs. Warren who is terminal in bed. Newcomer Dr. Parry falls in love with Helen and intends to take her to specialists in Boston who could help her recover her voice, and he also intends to marry her. When reckless Steven Warren arrives from Europe, he stays in the mansion with his mother and his stepbrother, Professor Albert Warren, and has a brief affair with Albert's assistant Blanche. When a crippled woman is killed in the town, Mrs. Warren advises Helen to leave the house immediately since she is in danger. When a murder occurs in the mansion, Helen does not know who she can trust to help her call Dr. Parry to rescue her.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
