Spoilers regarding some violent acts in the movie..Read at your own risk..
"Death has no power to separate us."
Franc(Kieran Canter)succumbs to madness when his beloved wife Anna(Cinzia Monreale)dies of heart failure. What he doesn't know is that his house-servant Iris(Franca Stoppi), someone who is was supposed to be able to trust, was the one responsible for her demise..via witchcraft. Franc(in a very explicit, gory sequence)digs Anna's body from her grave, and preserves it removing the organs and blood. A female hitchhiker he was stuck with after fixing a flat tire(she helped herself in the passenger's seat)discovers what Franc is doing and tries to both flee and attack him in a state of fear and pays the ultimate price. Scratching his neck, Franc retaliates by plucking out her fingernails followed by death through suffocation. Iris finds Franc stuck in a difficult situation and assists him! We find that Iris wishes to become his new wife and will help him get rid of the dead hitcher's corpse(in another of many grisly scenes, Iris only too happily chops the body up dumping the pieces in a bathtub of acid). Another female victim is claimed later as Franc picks up a female jogger training for a race. You see Franc keeps his Anna's preserved corpse in their former bedroom and imagine the shock of a sexually willing jogger getting a glimpse of that as the man she's about to sleep with carries on without a flinch. Biting his hand, she receives a chunk of her throat pulled out by Franc's teeth as he devours the flesh! Iris again steps in to assist him by burning the corpse in their incinerator in the basement. But, you have to question how long this union between to obvious wackos can last. A snooping man, who works for a priest in charge of keeping Anna's grave-site undamaged, begins to circulate around Franc's humble abode..will he discover the truth?
Disgusting, unflinchingly gruesome tale lives up to it's reputation mightily. It'll take individuals with strong stomachs to watch it. The flick is directed seriously with no winking, but the twist at the end regarding Anna's surprise relative seems pulled out a hat..it just seems a bit too much after seeing what we have for 85 minutes. As a gore film it succeeds..but the flick is tasteless and especially morbidly sick. The flick's theme is about how obsession can cause people to do strange and bizarre things.
