The House Of Dr. Ruphert

When summer arrives, Mary and Will, desperate parents struggling to provide for their three children, are left with no choice but to send them to Dr. Ruperth's house-a so-called sanctuary for the impoverished, hidden in a desolate, forgotten village.The place, however, is far from the refuge they are promised. Dr. Ruperth, a sinister figure with an unsettling presence, runs the house like a twisted factory of his experiments, where the laughter of children is drowned out by the relentless sound of labor and despair. What was once a haven for the poor is a nightmare of exploitation and horror.As the children are forced into brutal, soul-crushing scenes, they begin to uncover the horrifying truth behind the doctor's motives-each secret darker and more unimaginable than the last. With every passing day, the walls of Dr. Ruperth's house close in, and the children's innocence is eroded, replaced by an overwhelming terror that whispers through the cracks of the crumbling building. As Mary and Will continue their work, oblivious to the horrors unfolding, they have no idea that their children may never return-not as the innocent souls they once were, but as something far darker, far more broken.
