| Plot Summary of The Keep |
|---|
"The Keep is a little fortress in Europe that has been uninhabited, but under regular maintenance for centuries. When the Nazis take over the town, they try to inhabit the Keep, despite warnings from local villagers. They soon find out that something is "eating the men" as corpse after corpse turns up in the morning, impaled. The soldiers look to an elderly man and his daughter to find out if ancient lore of the mysterious keep are indeed, true."
