rdfs:comment
  • Based on the classic Edgar Allan Poe short Story. A successful writer and scholar, Johnathon, becomes involved with a graduate student, Ligeia. She's dying of cancer and in trying to defeat death, she has been experimenting with forbidden ways to capture the human soul and to take the energy of stolen souls so to empower her own soul... so it can take over other living bodies after being forced out of its own, by death. The gothically beautiful, but scheming Ligeia tricks Johnathon's fiancee into breaking up with him. Jonathan and Ligeia fall in love-partly due to the mind control power she has developed. Their mutual obsession extends beyond her dramatic death.
