MC

Marco Castellini

A scientist-wizard practices occultism. He claims to be able to predict people's deaths, but in reality, it is he himself who unleashes the demonic forces that kill the unfortunate ones. Psychologist Golden will manage to expose him. A classic of horror signed by master Tourneur. Perfect direction but cloying actors; still worth watching to enrich your horror cinema culture (and not only).
