3.6 / 10 · TMDB

The gorgeous young actress Ginette auditions for the lead role in the first long feature film of the controversial artist Alex Sherba and she's almost immediately submitted to a long series of harassing questions and indecent proposals. Alex quickly turns out to be a mentally unstable and potentially dangerous man, and when she finds an earring belonging to a missing friend of hers, Ginette even suspects that he might be a killer and starts her very own private investigation. Meanwhile, the torturing of other poor girls cheerfully continues in the dungeon of Alex' parental house.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its dread through the stark contrast between artistic pretension and the protagonist's hidden brutality. It relies on a clinically cold atmosphere and minimalist staging to transform the house into a psychological trap.

What lingers after viewing is a deep unease about the masks of creativity and the vulnerability of those seeking approval. The horror is in the quiet abuse of power, not explicit violence. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lamberto Bava

Best Watched

Watch alone at night, with no lights on, to feel the full weight of its creeping isolation.
