In this perverted tale of lust written by the prolific Ernesto Gastaldi, Steele stars as Cynthia, the newlywed wife of a twisted scientist (Robert Flemyng) with necrophiliac tendencies. Made at the height of the Italian horror boom it parlays a veritable haunted house worth of inventive gothic horror tropes, from flowing drapes and thunderstorms to locked doors and dark corners.

This rich kaleidoscope of colour and horror is drawn out in luscious detail by genre specialist Freda and cinematographer Raffaele Masciocchi. Shot during the extended production of Fellini’s 8 ½.
