Energetic and entertaining giallo from director De Martino (Holocaust 2000 as well The Antichrist).
As a child, Joanna was raped & assaulted by a man dressed as a priest.
Now grown and physcially handicapped, she's learning to cope with her condition...and her sizable financial inheritance.
But when a 'priest' begins terrorizing her and promising her imminent death, is it an authentic link to her past or someone wholly from the present?
Satisfyingly brutal murder sequences (especially a violent, well-edited death-by-shovel) buoy an occasionally erratic plotline.
Both Warbeck and Nagy shine as leads, particularly in the extended chase finale.
Also known as 7 Hyden Park: la casa maledetta and also The House of the Cursed.
