The film opens with the brutal killing of a wealthy women and then her killer gets killed as well.
This really opens the door for a lot of murder as someone wants the inheritance pool cut way down. Enter four young people who decide to party in an abandoned building on the estate where the murder took place and you have the perfect receipe for disaster.
There are many brutal and bloody killings and it doesn't take the killer long to rid the building of the four young ones. And once the viewer thinks they know who the killer is, the films takes an even more bizarre turn.
We learn that Renata Donati (Claudine Auger) and Alberto (Luigi Pistilli) are behind some of the vicious killings. They have two children whom they really ignore and so does the viewer as they aren;t seen much.
The ending to this film is one I don't want to spoil in case you haven't seen the movie, but it's a wild one. There are some great set pieces in here including several brutal killings and a bizarre scene with a lomg dead body covered by a slimy octopus. Weird indeed.
The cast also includes Claudio Camaso, Anna Maria Rosati, Laura Betti and Brigitte Skay. I highly recommend this thriller and it should be noted that it had such an impact on viewers that 10 years later the makers of Friday the 13th parts 1 and 2 copied, almost scene for scene a couple of the murders seen in this film.
