Description:
An eery, sombre and menacing coming-of-age mystery.
One of the last movies that Joe D’Amato’s company ‘Filmirage’ produced, and (according to the D’Amato fans of the Italian zine ‘Notturno’) also one of the best.
Directed and written by Roberto Leoni.
Protagonist John Savage also starred in another ‘Filmirage’ production the previous year: ‘Door to Silence’ (directed by Lucio Fulci).
The Criminal Roy Kramer escapes from prison while becoming moved by ocean, dragging the policeman he’s handcuffed to together with him. They end up on a deserted island, populated only by an eight-year-old woman Angelica, along with her sis Beatrice and their nanny Martina. Roy is finally no-cost.
The child tells Roy her favorite fairy tales, Martina tosses herself in his hands, and Beatrice provides herself to him also. But bad things start happening to them, and Roy is plagued by horrible suspicions.
