This film has Edgar Allen Poe all over it. It's a dark, tense psychological gripper set largely in a decayed crumbling villa, and centred on the tempestuous relationship between Edwige Fenech and her drunken, sadistic, failed writer of a husband Luigi Pistilli. Unlike other Gialli films, there's not a lot of action to speak of. Most of the story takes place in the villa itself. What this film does have which many of it's conteporaries don't, is a really intense feeling of foreboding - tension - and the knowledge that some sort of madness is lurking round the next corner.
Things take a turn for the worst for Luigi when one of his mistresses is brutally murdered with a sickle. Naturally he becomes the prime suspect. Luckily for him he has a petrified, submissive wife to provide him with an alibi. However when their maid is also killed in their villa, Luigi knows he needs to hid the body or take the wrap for two slayings he may or may not have committed.
All seems fine once more until Luigi's niece, the beautiful Anita Strindberg decides to show up unexpectedly, and begins to manipulate the minds of both her Aunt and Uncle for her own personal gains.
This is a brilliant film, perfect for curling up with during that next electrical lightening storm!!!
