Художник Стефано приезжает в уединенную итальянскую деревушку реставрировать изображение мучений Св.Себастьяна. Художник, который написал картину, в конце жизни сошел с ума и покончил с собой - при этом никто не видел его трупа. И это не единственная странность: судя по всему, художника влекла к себе смерть и адские муки. Один из лучших итальянски джиалло, редкость 70-х годов. Pupi Avati created one of the finest Italian films of the 1970's. A very atmospherichorror/giallo that has never been available in a version with English subtitles…until now! Stefano, a painter, travels to a village to restore a painting of Saint Sebastian being tortured. After a short while in the village Stefano begins realizing that something isn't right. He soon learns that the painter was a madman who tried desperately to capture the last moments of death on canvas. With the help of the madman's 2 sisters, who captured and tortured the models, the painter was able to create his morbid paintings. A truly amazing film that has been much sought after for years. Stars Lino Caplicchio, Francesca Marciano and Gianni Cavuna.
