What happens

Terror is a 1978 British supernatural slasher film written by David McGillivray and directed by Norman J. Warren. It stars John Nolan and Carolyn Courage as two cousins who fall victim to a curse that a witch placed on their ancestors. Conceived as a "fun horror film" with a simple premise, Terror was shot in various locations around London and Surrey. Although it was a box office success in the United Kingdom, it has received a mixed critical response for its storytelling and visual style, both of which were inspired by the Italian supernatural horror film Suspiria (1977). Warren's plans for a sequel were unrealised. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
