In Mario Bava’s 1973 psychedelic nightmare, a naive tourist named Lisa stumbles into a decaying Spanish villa where reality unravels like a frayed tapestry. Under the watchful, knowing gaze of the butler Leandro, whose face mirrors a fresco of the Devil, the house becomes a fever-dream carnival of mirrors, mannequins, and murder. Bava’s kaleidoscopic use of color and shadow turns every corridor into a descent into the characters’ darkest obsessions, blurring the lines between illusion, guilt, and supernatural possession. As Lisa’s stay extends, she finds herself trapped in a gothic labyrinth where the past refuses to die and the Devil may not just be a portrait. A haunting, surreal experience that lingers long after the final freeze-frame.

User Reviews
GialloGuru – 7/10
“It's a weird one, but that's Bava. The atmosphere is thick enough to choke on, and the baron's dinner party scene is pure madness. Not his best, but a fever dream you'll remember.”
ScreamQueen74 – 5/10
“I wanted to love it, but the plot is all over the place. Some stunning visuals though, and Elke Sommer is decent. Just didn't scare me as much as I hoped.”
HorrorHistorian – 8/10
“This is Bava at his most experimental. The shoedevil stuff is iconic, and the blend of psycho-drama and supernatural gives it a unique edge. It's a masterpiece of Italian horror if you can handle the slow burn.”
NightOwl567 – 4/10
“Felt like a 90-minute perfume commercial. Pretty pictures but no real scares. The ending left me scratching my head more than anything. Maybe I need to watch it again.”
