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.

Great score by Francesco De Masi plus several suspenseful and pretty violent stalking/murder sequences.
