A tense Italian giallo-style slasher where a composer's isolation in a villa becomes a hunting ground for an unseen killer, blending art-imitates-life meta-commentary with sustained paranoia and violence.

Bruno, an up and coming film composer, has been hired to write the score to a new horror movie. After moving into a secluded villa, life begins to imitate art as a vicious killer starts bumping off anyone and everyone who happens to pay him a visit.
