HorrorMysteryThriller101 min
Peter Neal, an American mystery novelist in Rome to promote his latest book, gets pulled into a murder case when a razor-wielding killer starts targeting people around him and sending notes tied to his work. Anthony Franciosa is Neal, caught between police scrutiny and his own search for answers, while John Saxon appears as his wary agent. Written and directed by Dario Argento, this 1982 giallo turns a book tour into a blood-soaked puzzle, with modern Roman interiors, taunting letters, and murders staged with the precise, unnerving style that made Argento a defining name in Italian horror.
