I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

one of my absolute favorites!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I believe this was the last film from Director Mario Brava, with his son, Lamberto, directing parts of it. While the obvious lack of budget shows this still remains a fine movie from the old master.The plot involves Daria Nicolodi and her 2nd husband moving back into the house she shared with her 1st beau, who we are told died by his own hand and was a depressive drug addict. She has spent some months in a sanitarium recovering from her ordeal but now all the trouble seems well behind her.Of course it's only just beginning. And along for the ride is Creepy Kid number 8765 in horror movies of this period. Only this kid may be, on occasion, psychically inhabited by the ghost of his father - Nicolodi's 1st hubby!Daria N is superb in this movie, taking the viewer away from the fairly stretched out plot and putting it all out there. A very different performance to the one she gave in Deep Red but just as effective. And of course Bava fills the film with superbly-realised fever dreams and some genuinely jumpy moments. The denouement, when it comes, is superbly executed. This is a film that mainly relies on atmosphere and creepiness rather than gore, except for one scene at the end involving a pick axe.If only they'd left out the laughing piano!

The final completed film for Italian horror master Mario Bava is a decent one. It lacks the atmosphere of his very best work, but Bava still proves himself an expert at establishing a mood and putting macabre imagery on film.Although sold in North America as "Beyond the Door II", this bears little relation to the earlier Italian "Exorcist" imitation "Beyond the Door". It does have one cast member in common - young David Colin Jr. - and features a similar possession theme - but otherwise, that's it.The beautiful Daria Nicolodi stars as Dora Baldini, a young woman who moves with her son Marco (Colin Jr.) and second husband, Bruno (John Steiner), into her former home. She'd lost her previous husband under suspicious circumstances, and spent some time in a mental hospital. Now Marco is behaving strangely, and Dora begins to be tormented by various visions, to the point that she believes she may be losing her mind.Bavas' son Lamberto was assistant to his father on this show, co-wrote the screenplay, and also plays a minor, uncredited role. "Shock" also co-stars Ivan Rassimov as a psychiatrist who attempts to help the fragile Dora. The Goblin-esque soundtrack composed by "I Libra" is effective most of the time. Bava, to his credit, eschews going for a lot of supernatural effects in favour of a mostly psychological approach. Things only start to get a little more conventional towards the end. However, gore fans need not worry as things become pretty bloody at the conclusion. Some viewers will also appreciate the nudity supplied by Ms. Nicolodi.And speaking of Ms. Nicolodi, she's almost the entire show here, delivering a convincingly unhinged performance. It's safe to say that she makes the most out of this top billed role.The director brings much of his customary style to this tale. He definitely could have done much worse for what would turn out to be his swan song.Seven out of 10.

It has been said the Mario Bava is a better director than Dario Argento, but he does have the great scripts that Argento has. This final film of Bava shows his directorial talent and the script is really good also.It is a perfect Halloween film full of suspenseful music and creepy sounds, a great set, and just three main characters.Here, Bava has Argento's former partner, Daria Nicolodi, in the main role. She has appeared in many of Argento's films: Mother of Tears, Opera, Phenomena, Inferno, Suspiria and Deep Red. She even wrote Suspiria for Argento.Nicolodi is magnificent as a woman going mad.

Dora(Daria Nicolodi)returns with her new husband, pilot Bruno(John Steiner) and son Marco(David Colin Jr)to the home she once shared with her former husband. It's brought up as the movie continues that her first husband, a pianist whose best days were behind him as he progressed into drug addiction bringing Dora down with him, had committed suicide. Bruno tries to keep her calm because we immediately notice she's quite emotionally fragile. The idea of returning to the home of a devastating past is hard to accept at first without some reservations. With Dora's husband often away flying commercial aircraft, she begins to notice strange behavior from son Marco who even informs his mom that he is to kill her! That admitting such an atrocious deed coming from a boy is alarming to say the least. Soon Dora is plagued by disorienting nightmares and is often spooked by inanimate objects which often fall around her. With her son's bizarre behavior and some past recollections regarding what REALLY happened to her dead husband Carlo, Dora's sanity will be tested. The rocky marriage to Carlo sent to an emotionally distraught Dora to a sanitarium and being haunted by his spirit will only further complicate matters. Why is Carlo tormenting her to begin with? And, why is he using his son as a "go-between" to frighten his former wife? And, why is blood oozing from a brick wall down in the basement? And, more importantly, how is Bruno connected to the whole ordeal? In one scene, we hear the angered spirit, speaking through Marco, refer to Dora and Bruno as pigs.Bava's final film has some really cool set-pieces such as the corpse hand often fondling Dora's throat as she sleeps or caressing her ankle after causing her to fall. We see doors swing open out of the blue, a chandelier fall nearly on top of her head, furniture spring towards her, and even a razor blade(which has significance in the grand scheme of things)suspended in air coming towards her, at one point, slicing a gap in her gown. David Colin Jr is quite creepy as the possessed Marco and Daria is pretty much in a state of near hysteria throughout. One thrilling sequence shows Marco coming towards her changing into Carlo upon arrival. May not be Mario at his best, but very entertaining with a great score. Probably the nightmare sequences have the style we often are accustomed to when watching a Mario Bava film as he implements visual techniques that make Dora's visions so bizarre, surreal, & disturbing. The film's revelation regarding Carlo's fate is really neatly presented.
