Description

Alexander Pushkin’s terrifying ghost story comes to life in The Queen Of Spades, directed by the acclaimed Thorold Dickinson.

An elderly countess strikes a bargain with the devil and exchanges her soul for the ability to always win at cards. An army officer, who is also a fanatic about cards, murders her for the secret, then finds himself haunted by the woman’s spirit.

“This stunning film is one of the few true classics of supernatural cinema.” – Martin Scorsese
