A woman predicts in her dreams the murder of her husband, an archaeologist in an Etruscan cemetery. Intrigued but, at the same time, frightened by these visions, the young woman begins to investigate but, to her dismay, soon finds herself involved in a drug trafficking operation that takes place right near the Etruscan cemetery and hides behind fake ritual sacrifices. One could define this bad film a "mystery" disguised as horror, offering a slow and predictable story that never manages to captivate or engage the viewer, but rather causes drowsiness and even irritation in the stupid ending. Despite the decent cast (John Saxon and Paolo Malco, whom you will remember as the interpreter of Fulci's masterpiece "That villa next to the cemetery"), we are therefore faced with one of the "solitudes" of the cheap genre films directed by Italian directors.
