A mad killer seriously injures himself while trying to sneak into a villa. Taken to the hospital, his wound heals on its own in a very short time; once recovered, the madman starts killing victims in the most atrocious ways. Apocryphal sequel to "Antropophagus" directed by the same Joe D'Amato (who in this film signs with the pseudonym Peter Newton), the movie is a classic example of Italian splatter horror. Bad actors, laughable plot but excellent and gory splatter effects; suitable especially for those who ask of a horror movie massive doses of blood rather than a well-articulated story. The best sequence remains the unsettling and very splatter finale. The screenplay is once again by Eastman – Montefiori who, as in the previous "Antropophagus", is also the protagonist of the film; also noteworthy is the "appearance" of Michele Soavi as a poor motorcyclist.
