A cop
named Nicola and his rich (bitch) wife are having an argument in their
apartment. This isn't new as the couple can often be heard fighting. But
this time, she turns up dead (killed in a shower with a butcher knife
through the shower curtain). Nicola is the prime suspect and one of his
co-workers, Inspector Terzi, is assigned to the case. Anna, a criminal
psychiatrist who is a friend to both men, refuses to believe that Nicola
is guilty and attempts to prove it. She and the daughter of Detective
Terzi soon find themselves on the dangerous end of the butcher knife.
For this
project (and a few others), Lamberto Bava used the pseudonym John Old
Jr. This is a tribute to his famous father Mario Bava who sometimes
signed his movies as John M. Old. Lamberto began his career as an assistant
director for his father for numerous projects in the mid '60s. When his
dad retired in 1975, he became the AD for Ruggero Deodato and joined him
in the Amazon for JUNGLE
HOLOCAUST and CANNIBAL
HOLOCAUST. Upon his return to Italy, he convinced his father to
come out of retirement; they worked together on SHOCK!
(Beyond the Door 2). After Mario Bava's death in 1980, Lamberto
joined Dario Argento's stable and was given the opportunity to begin directing.
He has helmed 35+ projects since 1980. His most recent project [as of
this writing] was the S&M horror film THE
TORTURER.
