Marco Castellini

•
A famous pianist discovers he is afflicted with a rare and incurable disease that causes cellular disintegration, turning him into a "monster". Maddened by pain, he decides to kill anyone who knows his secret. The director of the legendary "Cannibal Holocaust" is not up to his reputation with this film, producing a mediocre Italian giallo-horror, a child of the Gothic tradition of the 1960s-70s.
