The true work of a visionary, with the bleak dark tones and wonderful photography taking full advantage of its setting of Venice and a complex but yet rewarding gripping storyline filled with mystery and suspense and excellent performances by Christie and Sutherland as well as one of the most shocking climaxes in the history of the paranormal thriller.
