A Blade in the Dark (1983)

AKA: La Casa Con la Scala Nel Buio

Director: Lamberto Bava

Premise:
A film composer gets stalked by a killer who seems to be linked to the movie he is writing the music for.

My Take:
A decent giallo where I liked the set up and execution of the story. It's a little creepier than many movies of its type. Unfortunately it's not hard to figure out the villain.

Rating: In the middle
