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.

Gianna Brezzi: I think that a woman's gotta be independent so she can...
Marcus Daly: Oh, don't start with me about all that woman's stuff. It is a fundamental fact... men are different from women. Women are... weaker; well, they're gentler.
Gianna Brezzi: They're what? Weaker? Gentler?
[she howls in laughter - stops laughing, stands, unbuttons jacket, moves to the table, determinedly clearing it]
Marcus Daly: What on earth are you doing?
Gianna Brezzi: [sitting again and holding her arm up, wriggling her fingers] Come on, Tarzan. Why don't you try me?
Marcus Daly: What's that?
Gianna Brezzi: Arm wrestling.
[brusquely]
Gianna Brezzi: Come on. Then we'll see who's weaker!
Marcus Daly: Oh, don't be ridiculous!
Gianna Brezzi: You backing out?

Carlo: Look, maybe you've seen something so important you can't realize it.
Marcus Daly: But... I'm just trying to understand, because...
Carlo: You know, sometimes what you actually see and what you imagine... get mixed up in your memory like a cocktail... from which you can no longer distinguish one flavor from another.
Marcus Daly: But I'm telling you the truth!
Carlo: No, Marc. You think you're telling the truth, but in fact... you're telling only your version of the truth. It happens to me all the time.
