A vengeful heiress, blackmail, and twisted games in Italian-Argentinian giallo style.
PSYCHOUT FOR MURDER
All must die...but daddy's got to go by inches!
Mario consigns his girlfriend Licia to a whorehouse for an evening in order to get the photographic goods to blackmail her father with. To get her out of the way, Licia is then consigned to a mental hospital by her father.
Proof that Italian giallo can make even chest hair a plot device.
Part giallo, part lurid family drama, Psychout for Murder delivers seductive blackmail, mental hospitals, and revenge served with a side of chest hair fetish. The film leans into its decadent Italian-Argentinian roots and isn't afraid to get a little twisted with its whodunit plotting and salacious set pieces.
