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 after, Aurora's dead body is found hanging in the library by Ofelia. One night, a half drunken Pilar comes to the house. As she is walking to the steps she sees the ghost of Susana and falls to her death on the floor. Now Ofelia and Marta are the only ones left in the house. Marta tells Ofelia that Aurora had killed the cat along with her and Pilar, and that she knows that she is next. Ofelia tells her to get away from the house and she runs to open the gate for her boyfriend. They find Marta impaled with several knitting needles. As a sobbing Ofelia and her boyfriend are leaving the house, the cat's meowing is heard in house.
