In Eugenio Martín’s chilling 1962 giallo, a stage hypnotist meets a gruesome end in his own dressing room, his silent ventriloquist dummy the only ‘witness’ to the crime. As suspicion falls on a hapless boxer, a second murder sends shivers through the theater, blurring the line between human malice and the twisted will of a wooden puppet. With shadows creeping through every frame, this atmospheric classic builds a slow-burning dread that will leave you questioning who—or what—truly pulls the strings.
