A classic suspenseful horror film directed by Italy's greatest horror master Dario Aquinto ("The Wind and Wind"). An English musician in Rome read about how his neighbor was brutally killed in a mysterious ghost book. He went to visit the author of the book and found that she had also become a victim of murder. In the process of solving the mystery, the musician has experienced many strange and terrifying things. The film has a strong sense of form, whether it is heart-pounding rock music or the creation of a horrible atmosphere, it is in place. The full version of Italy is more than 20 minutes longer than other versions, and it contains more bloody and violent scenes.
