Favourite line:N/A - Subtitled

Typically rambling and incoherent horror from the Hallowed shores of Italy, this time in the form of Mario Bava's final ever movie.

A little boy starts acting weird.
Boys mom starts noticing he's acting weird.
Weird things start happening to mom.
Mom asks little boy about the weird things.
Weirder things starts happening to him.
Mom asks little boy about weirder things.
Weirder things start....well, you get the idea.

The storyline, as ever, is irrelevant as in this style of movie, it's all about atmosphere.
And this has tons of that.
Thing is, it never really lets fly with the weirdness, or with the gore, so it lacks impetus as the film resolves.
Still, Italian horror is always worth watching over most other forms of the genre, so check it out regardless.
