Farley
Granger stars in this bizarre mixture of ghost story and Euro thriller
(made - perhaps - even stranger due to its Turkish influences). A small
time artist named John Ward, struggling to find inspiration for his artwork,
visits a group of hippies partying in the woods. They understand his desperation
and give him a broken mannequin. Upon returning to his house, Ward discovers
that he has brought back much more than he bargained for... the mannequin
transforms into a beautiful woman. As he begins to doubt his sanity, the
living doll - with her unflinching promiscuity and unbridled lust - gives
him further reason for desperate madness to unfold into murder.
Mr Granger was an
American actor who worked with Alfred Hitchcock in the early '50s, moved
to TV in the '60s (starring in everything from KRAFT THEATER
to HAWAII FIVE-O) before relocating to Italy in
the '70s. He is probably best known to genre fans for his starring role
in WHAT
HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS (1974) and his numerous movies
for Lucio Fulci [DEVIL'S
