Murder Obsession (1981)

Michael Stanford (Stefano Patrizi), an actor basking in the shimmering lights of success, harbors a chilling secret in the shadowed corners of his past. As a child, he drove a knife into his father, a scarlet memory that haunts him. Accompanied by the captivating Deborah (Silvia Dionisio), his girlfriend, Michael decides to face the echoes of his past, journeying to his mother's home for a weekend getaway. The brooding house, a silent witness to his gruesome past, also hosts an eccentric ensemble from Michael's current film project. Welcomed by the enigmatic housekeeper Oliver (John Richardson), their reception is as cold as the secrets lurking within the mansion. Oliver's demeanor, steeped in superstition, hints at an undercurrent of unease that sends ripples through the weekend gathering. As the sun dips and shadows dance, a malevolent force awakens. One by one, the guests fall prey to a deranged murderer, their lives snuffed out in a series of grisly killings. A veil of terror descends, entwining the past and present in an eerie waltz. Is it the work of a sinister occult force, or is history echoing its deadly tune through Michael's fears? The line between reality and nightmare blurs in Riccardo Fredo's 'Murder Obsession', where every corner turned could lead to a chilling revelation or a deadly encounter. As the weekend unfolds, the question remains - can Michael escape the blood-soaked strings of his past, or is he doomed to repeat his darkest hour?
