“A stylish and moody horror film… in which past and present are so relentlessly intertwined that it’s almost impossible to tell them apart.” – Will Laughlin, BrainEater.com
“A Hitchcockian murder mystery painted with vermillion red and a preoccupation with the female psyche.” – Madeleine Sinclair, ScreenQueens
Where melody and melancholy meet…
Premonitions of murder, an indelible tune of seven notes, and a slow burning mystery are masterfully combined in this underrated Giallo from one of the genre’s undisputed geniuses. Enticing us through an uneasy journey before a stunningly shattering conclusion, Lucio Fulci’s most refined film of the era is defined by Jennifer O’Neill’s smoldering performance as a woman increasingly haunted by the intensifying violence in her dreams. Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino infamously stole the signature seven note tune to use in Kill Bill.
The screening will be preceded by an introduction from series programmer Stephanie Sack.
Screening in Italian with English subtitles.
