Dario Argento’s directorial debut! An American in Rome witnesses a botched murder, and then becomes obsessed with tracking down the mysterious attacker.
In Dario Argento’s directorial debut, Sam (Tony Musante), an American writer living in Rome, witnesses a vicious knife attack on a beautiful woman (Eva Renzi) inside an art gallery.

His investigations only lead the murderer toward Sam and his girlfriend (Suzy Kendall). Featuring POV shots of the killer stalking the city at night, gory slow motion, and one of Ennio Morricone’s most distinctive scores, this giallo classic is not to be missed.
