Murder Obsession1981
“Welcome to your new home. Welcome to hell.”
Directed by Riccardo Freda
The premise
Michael is a successful actor, but he has a scandal in his past: at a tender age he knifed his father to death. He and his girlfriend Deborah go to his mother's for the weekend, and are joined by the director and others from a recent film project, who are given a rather cool reception by the superstitious housekeeper Oliver. Soon rude things begin happening to some of the guests, and Michael fears a repeat of his nightmare past is in progress.
Horror Vault's take
A troubled actor haunted by a violent childhood tragedy returns to his mother's remote estate with his girlfriend and a group of film colleagues, only for the weekend to take a sinister turn. Ancient superstitions, a hostile housekeeper, and disturbing dream-logic blur the line between past and present as guests begin meeting gruesome fates. This Italian giallo-inflected chiller leans into gothic atmosphere and psychological unease, weaving black-mass imagery and whodunit tension into its creeping dread. Fans of Euro-horror excess will find plenty to savour in its stylish, nightmare-soaked descent.
