Oliver, convinto di aver ucciso la moglie, torna nella sua antica casa, dove era avvenuto il fatto. Cominciano una serie di efferati omicidi, ed alla fine lo stesso Oliver ci rimette la pelle; finale con sorpresa. Solito giallo-horror italiano, scontato in tutto anche nel colpo di scena finale in cui viene scoperto l’assassino. Sconsigliato anche per gli amanti di questo filone cinematografico.
