School of Death
An 1899 London orphanage is the setting for this weird tale starring Dean Selmier, Sandra Mozaroski, and Victoria Vera. An attractive-in-a-strange-way monster is doing weird experiments on an attractive young woman. He’s actually a fire-scarred mad doctor who subjects his beautiful victim to memory-draining surgery that her into a zombie.
