The premise
Police Comissioner Datti is investigating the murder of a female doctor whose murderer seems to be a thirty-fivish year old man. Soon another murder follows: Pianist Robert Dominici's girlfriend is found killed. The killer also challenges Datti on the phone and says he can't be caught since he has a secret which makes him invulnerable. In the meantime the clues seems to point in strange directions...
Horror Vault's take
When a series of brutal murders strikes and the killer taunts investigators with claims of invulnerability, Police Commissioner Datti finds himself chasing a suspect whose very nature defies easy classification. A celebrated concert pianist becomes entangled in the investigation as the body count rises and the clues grow increasingly baffling. This Italian giallo-inflected thriller leans into psychological unease as much as visceral shock, keeping both characters and viewers perpetually off-balance. The killer's dark secret drives the film toward a disturbing and morally complex conclusion.
