Sometimes a bad look from a stranger can give one's life a bad spin. This is the case of the fate of the owners of a mysterious portrait of a mean loan shark that brings doom on all his owners and negatively influences the careers of several artists. This post-war psychological horror is based on a same-name short story by Nicolai Gogol. (Summer Film School)
