This has probably got to be one of the most cynical and unsettling titles in our catalogue! Paranoia runs rampant when a new schoolteacher moves into a small Sicilian town. She isn't accepted by anyone and everyone seems very superstitious. But when someone publicly humiliates her, they end up murdered and left to be found the next day in the town square! Soon she appears to be in charge of the town as they fulfill her orders, but it isn't as it all that it seems. Franco Nero stands out as a cowardly teacher who becomes her lover and James Mason as her caretaker/landlord seems to have ties into everything despite being a recluse in his large house overlooking the town. Part Italian Crime, part political thriller and 100% paranoia keeps everything intense until the final revelation comes crashing down on everyone in the shocking conclusion.
