A young woman Mara(Paola Tedesco) accidentally stumbles into a murder in progress of a pharmacist in his store, she then finds that she is now being sought be the killer. Instead of notifying the police, she intrusts the services of an old cigar chomping friend Lukas (Corrado Pani, Secrets of a Call Girl, Gambling City ) to help investigate the killing and prevent the killer from killing her. Lukas investigation gets progressively more confusing and frustrating as people he looks to for information turn up dead or are none to helpful.
Bido of The Bloodstained Shadow fame, has a reputation for approaching his films differently and here again the film hides its dark secret until the finale of the film. The film suffers a little as the print available is very dark and grainy, a fact that might lead some to believe the film has no merit, but it does and it also has a message that the past comes back to haunt everyone. There are also some gruesome killings to keep the gorehounds happy. Pani puts in a fine performance, despite some dodgy dubbing and the score by Trans Europa Express is powerful and memorable and much in the vein of a Goblin opus.
