A tourist becomes entangled in a villa with the devil.
Sinekatalog’s take
Mario Bava's gothic nightmare traps a tourist in a villa with Telly Savalas's devilish butler. Dreamlike, stylish and eerie, with a doll-like cast, it is a strange, atmospheric horror from the Italian master.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
