Trivia
Unusually for an Italian film of the time, all the actors spoke their dialogue in English regardless of nationality, instead of being overdubbed in the English soundtrack. The Italian track however is dubbed by other actors voicing the characters, even the film's Italian actors.

Goofs
The opening sequence set in Dover England, and Florence Italy at the exact same time show the time set as 11:45. Continental Europe is one hour ahead of the British Isles time zone in which the time in Florence should read 12:45, but it could be 'local' times for both.

Quotes
Gloria Ducci: I've had fifty-six lovers and haven't killed even one of them.

ECCELLENTE horror movie!

... Actually it is not exactly an horror movie, but rather more a thriller (or, better, a giallo). Visionary, tense, well acted (& dubbed), nice locations (villas, interiors, landscapes, cars, etc.), care to costumes and details, a nice 7 notes tune... it is a truly enjoyable little gem from the (not enough) celebrated Italian gore maestro. The plot itself, assuming it is possible to have such supernatural powers, develops convincingly and without too many disgusting bloody scenes . In some points (the visions, particularly the reversed statue) I had the feeling that Kubrick in Shining (1980) might have stolen something (MURDER...). Will it be possible? Oh, I was forgetting, the actress (O neill) is wonderful, and Ferzetti (Once upon in the West, On Her Majesty's Secret Service) is playing as well. 8.5/10 Well done Lucio!
