Oliver, convinced he had killed his wife, returns to his old house, where the incident happened. A series of atrocious murders begins, and in the end Oliver loses his life; surprise ending. The usual Italian giallo-horror, predictable in every aspect, including the final twist where the killer is revealed. Not recommended even for fans of this cinematic genre.
