In a long Opening Scene, this woman goes into a Building, looks around a Penthouse and is then attacked by a strange, old woman with a blade!
Like Dario Argento, the Director of the Film plays the killer in this Scene.
He's returned to the Music World after 6 years (how long they were married) ...
More importantly, a young woman- who acts as his Assistant- is far more fetching than anyone!
Nick hears weird sounds at night and looks around for the source, finding nothing.
He tries to keep working on the Album though as his grip on sanity fades.
Can he finish the Album?
Why does it smell like gaslight?
To find out, stream the Film now.
This is very much a '70s Film, so get used to lots of walking around, tension building and sudden reactions.
Is this my favorite thing? No.
Do I hate it? No.
The actual Plot is honestly kind of sparse, really getting by on these long shots and vague moments. If you cut it down to the purely Plot stuff, it is not going to be 90 minutes.
Having said that, it is interesting to see Films like this. This is a proto-Slasher Film, just with a much smaller body count.
Is it the only Film to feature bloody murder, masked killers and the guy who sang The Theme to The Love Boat? Yes.
Amusingly, Jones' final Film appearance was also in a Film about a Singer...
A Film that will please fans of the older, more atmospheric Thrillers. Just know that there's not much meat on the bone, as it were.
