Lucio Fulci directs this Italian horror thriller in which a series of murders in a small Sicilian town bring its inhabitants under suspicion. With the police baffled by the strangulation of a young boy, newspaper reporter Andrea Martelli (Tomas Milian) begins his own investigation into the crime. A number of suspects soon present themselves including Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet), a socialite hiding out in the town until a drugs scandal blows over, Maciara (Florinada Bolkan), a beautiful young woman who dabbles in black magic and Giuseppe (Vito Passeri), the town outsider. As the body count continues to rise, can Andrea get to the bottom of the scandal before yet more lives are lost?
