The premise
Lisa Boeri is at the top of her corporate career. At night she frequents the notorious Club Tulpa, owned by a mysterious Tibetan guru. Unshackled from repression and guilt, Lisa will do anything with any stranger to attain a higher consciousness. However, when her lovers start getting murdered in shocking ways, Lisa can’t go to the police because the scandal would impact her day job. Foolishly she tries to unmask the assassin herself, with truly nightmarish consequences.
Horror Vault's take
By day, Lisa Boeri is a high-powered executive holding her carefully constructed world together; by night, she loses herself in the transgressive underworld of Club Tulpa, a secretive pleasure den run by an enigmatic Tibetan mystic. When the anonymous lovers she meets there begin turning up brutally murdered, Lisa finds herself trapped — too exposed to involve the police, too endangered to stay silent. Rooted in Italian giallo tradition, the film blends lurid eroticism with graphic bloodshed as Lisa is drawn deeper into a conspiracy she may not survive. The line between spiritual awakening and deadly obsession has never felt so razor-thin.
