“Enter... if you dare the bizarre world of the psychosexual mind.”
Directed by Sergio Martino
The premise
A masked serial killer with psychosexual issues strangles female coeds with scarves before dismembering them. When a wealthy student identifies one of the scarves and thinks she has a lead on a suspect, she becomes the killer's next target, retreating to her family's remote cliffside villa with three of her girlfriends.
Horror Vault's take
A masked killer with disturbing psychosexual obsessions is preying on female university students in Italy, dispatching victims with scarves before things turn far more gruesome. When one young woman believes she can identify the killer, she retreats to a secluded cliffside villa with friends — only to find that distance from the city offers no safety. Director Sergio Martino crafts a stylish giallo that bridges the gap between Italian thriller tradition and the emerging slasher formula. Tension mounts relentlessly as the line between suspect and hunter blurs in the villa's shadowy isolation.
