shock (1977)


AKA Beyond The Door II. Schock.
"Mama, I have to kill you."
Dora (Daria Nicolodi) is emotionally unstable, after the apparent suicide of her first husband and years of abuse at his hands. Newly re-married to Bruno (John Steiner), he insists they move back to the home she once shared with husband number one. But she is uneasy about it, especially when her son Marco (David Colin Jr.) starts talking to an imaginary friend, a friend that seems to have a malevolent agenda.
Bava's last film isn't his best, but is still an entertaining suspense filled horror with some interesting plot twists to keep you guessing. Unfortunately much of the movie centres on the child, who is more than annoying and difficult to ignore.
