•A stressed young musician decides to take a break from everything and everyone. Intrigued by an advertising leaflet promising a relaxing and psycho-physical recovery vacation as a guest at a retirement home immersed in the greenery and quiet of the countryside, the boy decides to go to the place immediately. Upon arrival, he soon discovers that under the guise of a care home is actually a hospital run by a mad doctor who performs bizarre experiments on young guinea pigs. Despite a fairly original story and actors rather well cast in their respective roles, the film doesn't take off. Too many "stereotypical" characters (the "Mad Doctor" in a wheelchair, the dwarf assistant, the "scapestrato capellone"), flat and predictable dialogues, and little suspense. A definitely little-known horror film that doesn't deserve much attention. Curiosity: the film was released in Italy with the absolutely free title "Diario proibito di un collegio femminile" which has nothing to do with the plot of the film; the idea, it seems clear, was to attract some spectators looking for "strong emotions".
