WHO IS MAUD LOVELL AND WHERE HAS SHE COME FROM?

Maud has been at Angelton Lunatic Asylum for 5 years.

She has no memory of her past or how she came to be here.

They say she is violent and unstable, hysterical and untrustworthy.

But when she's hypnotised, the memories come flooding back. And now it's time for revenge.

Welcome to Angelton Lunatic Asylum. Once you're in, it's murder getting out . . .
