Plot
The film is about four women that move to a creepy house, inherited by one of them from an old aunt; as a condition, they must take care of the aunt's pet, a black cat. One day they find the cat dead. Soon later, Aurora's dead body is found hanging in library by Ofelia. One night, half drunken Pilar comes to house. As she is walking to the steps she sees the ghost of Susana and falls to her death at floor. Now Ofelia and Marta are the only ones left in house. Marta tells Ofelia that Aurora had killed the cat alongside with her and Pilar, and that she knows deeply inside her that she is next. Ofelia tells her to get away from the house and she runs to open the gate for her boyfriend. Ofelia and him found Marta impaled with several knitting needles. As sobbing Ofelia and her boyfriend are leaving the house, the cat's meowing is heard in house.
