Marco Castellini
•A young man from a noble family, after his father's death, spends his days locked up in the house with his possessive mother and the governess. Having finally found a beautiful fiancée, he decides to marry her, but the two "women of the house" make sure the future wife dies in an accident. The young man goes mad and, after his mother's death, killed by the governess herself, starts bringing girls into the house to then kill them... A decent atmosphere thriller-horror, made even more appealing by some violent murders and the valid performance of the protagonist, a very young but already charismatic Franco Nero. Solid, though uninspired, the direction by Guerrini. Too bad the pace is not very high and the ending rather predictable. Curiosity: a few years later, the story of the film will be picked up, quite faithfully, in a sort of splatter remake, by the legendary Joe D'Amato for his masterpiece "Buio Omega".
