When Ann, the wealthy yet mentally unstable wife of accomplished
author Larry, claims to have found her husband brutally murdered in her
stables, her psychiatrist, Dr. Marc, and Larry’s secretary, Mary, are
skeptical — not least because there is no body to be found. What’s more,
Dr. Marc finds a note from Larry saying he’s going away for a while to
clear his head. A year later, Larry returns to the house, but Ann is
adamant that this man is not her husband, despite the protests of Dr.
Marc and Mary to the contrary. To add to her mounting turmoil, Ann
starts to experience gruesome hallucinations and receives phone calls
from someone claiming to be the real Larry, contacting her from beyond
the grave. As those around her start being dispatched in various grisly
ways, is Ann losing her grip on sanity, or could something even more
diabolical be afoot?
Helmed by Enzo Milioni, director of giallo favorite The Sister of Ursula (1978), and starring Euro-horror regular Zora Kerova (Cannibal Ferox, The New York Ripper),

A twisty-turny giallo punctuated by moments of shocking and unexpected
