Fantasticly moody little film from Francesco Barilli director of the brilliant Perfume Of The Lady In Black.
Part giallo part drama and set in a rundown hotel during the second world war the film is carried by a fabulous performance from Leonora Fani as the teenage girl waiting for her father to return from the war.
Left to run the hotel alone after her mother is murdered the increasingly debauched guests make life hell for her, until that is they start turning up dead themselves.
Luc Merenda is memorable as a sleazy conman and Francisco Rabal great as Fani's mother's
lover hidden away in the hotel.
The score from Adolfo Waitzmann is quite brilliant, ranging from lightweight dancehall tunes
to ominous guitar driven themes.
An absolute gem of a movie that just has to be seen by any serious fan of euro cult cinema.
