Dario Argento, the modern master of Italian horror cinema, comes a dark and disturbing tale of murder and revenge. A city is terrorised by a maniac who has perpetrated a series of gruesome murders. Meanwhile, 16 year old Aura Petrescu (Asia Argento) flees incarceration in a sanitorium, and returns to her mysterious Russian immigrant parents. Whilst conducting one of the seances from which they earn a living, Aura's parents are brutally murdered and the terrified Aura is convinced that the killer is after her next.

Her only hope lies in David Parson (Christopher Rydell), a graphic artist whose curiosity is aroused by Aura's paranoia and anxiety. Together they uncover links between the murder victims - all were treated many years ago at the same medical institution. Now they must race against time to uncover the shocking true identity of the killer before Aura becomes the next victim. Packed with dazzling visuals and genuinely shocking set pieces, this extraordinary tale of fear and suspense is one of Argento's greatest achievements
