Murder Obsession (Follia Omicida) (1981, ITA/FRA) C-93m. ** D: Riccardo Freda. Starring Stefano Patrizi, Martine Brochard, Henri Garcin, Laura Gemser, John Richardson, Anita Strindberg. Barely okay, barely seen thriller about an actor, who retuns to his mother's estate intending to overcome his childhood trauma. As a little boy he killed his father with a knife. He brings his girlfriend and film crew with him and soon they start dying one by one. Freda makes nods to PROFONDO ROSSO and SUSPIRIA, and he creates a handful of frightening, sometimes ultra-gory images, but film is poorly written, with shoddy acting and gratuitous sex scenes. Too bad. Both Freda and Strindberg's last film. Freda died in 1999 without directing another movie, Strindberg merely retired from acting. Also known as FEAR, DELIRIUM, MURDER SYNDROME, L'OSSESSIONE CHE UCCIDE, PAURA, SATAN'S ALTAR, THE WAILING, and UNCONSCIOUS.
