Plot

His last feature, a haunted-house film.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mario Bava's last feature is a haunted-house chiller with Daria Nicolodi tormented by her son's possession. Atmospheric and suspenseful, it shows Bava's gift for inventive scares even on a small budget.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
