Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A psychic who can read minds picks up the thoughts of a murderer in the audience and soon becomes a victim. An English pianist gets involved in solving the murders, but finds many of his avenues of inquiry cut off by new murders, and he begins to wonder how the murderer can track his movements so closely.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Co-writer Bernardino Zapponi said the inspiration behind the murder scenes came from him and Dario Argento thinking of painful injuries that the audience could relate to. Basically, not everyone knows the pain of being shot by a gun, but everyone has at some point accidentally struck furniture or been scalded by hot water. See more » |
| Goofs | When Helga Ulmann is introduced during the séance, she is said to be Lithuanian. When her murder is announced on the TV later in the film she is said to be German, which would explain her talking in German on the telephone just before the murder. See more » |

| Quotes |
Helga Ulmann:
It was - I can't explain it - something strange and sharp, like the prick of a thorn. It upset me, but it's all right now. [Gasps] Helga Ulmann: I can feel death in this room! I feel a presence, a twisted mind sending me thoughts! Perverted, murderous thoughts... Go away! You have killed! And you will kill again! See more » |
