A Blade in the Dark

“Don't Go Down the Stairs.”

Bruno (Andrea Occhipinti), a young film composer, wants to finish the score for a horror picture, and he takes it to a secluded villa where he can work in peace. Lamberto Bava makes the house a place of closed doors and dark rooms, and the visitors who come through begin turning up dead. Bruno's closest tie is to Sandra (Anny Papa), and she is the one he keeps reaching for as the killing goes on around him.
