Two guys and a girl decide to rob a large villa inhabited by two elderly people alone. One night they enter the elderly couple's house and try to immobilize them to rob them, but accidentally end up killing them; shaken by the unexpected, the young people do not know what to do and decide to spend the night in the house. Meanwhile, something strange happens: all the clocks in the house stop and go back, bringing the two elderly people back to life who, from victims, become executioners of their aggressors. Another unreleased product by Reteitalia for the cycle "Dimore Maledette" and recently re-released on VHS by Nocturno. Probably the best in the series (which also included two films by Lenzi and two by Lamberto Bava): several original ideas and some good splatter scenes make it at least watchable from beginning to end, without ever falling into the ridiculous. Suitable for admirers of the late Fulci and for all those who would like to see all the horror films in circulation; if you do not fall into these two categories you can also overlook it.
