About This Film
Patients and those working in an isolated mental hospitals are murdered, one by one, by a madman lurking in the corridors.
Mary is a new nurse at the prestigious Vance Clinic which is run by Dr. Robert Vance and his wife Elizabeth.A female thief named Giselle is put in the clinic by Dr.Vance. She begins to hear strange sounds in the attic and discovers a badly disfigured woman there. In the meantime a mysterious black cape wearing killer stalks and attacks female patients with a razor.
Stylish and sadly neglected Gothic giallo with splendid performance of William Berger and stylish direction by Elio Scardamaglia. Great score by Francesco De Masi plus several suspenseful and pretty violent stalking/murder sequences.
