This is a surreal thriller by Italian director Mario Bava stars Elke Sommer as Lisa and Telly Savalas as The Devil. The story is set in Italy with Lisa as an American tourist who wanders away from her tour group as they study a fresco of the devil carrying away the dead. She enters a shop and encounters Savalas who has an uncanny resemblance to the demon in the painting. Lisa rushes out of the store but suddenly is very lost. Eventually she gets a ride with a rich couple and their chauffeur, but soon the car breaks down. Fortunately the are right in front of a large estate house and are invited in by the butler who just happens to be Savalas. The residents of the house are a young man who is quite taken by Lisa and his blind mother. Lots of bizarre situations occurs that include lots of dummies of the people, a man who appears only to Lisa and a past love triangle with a woman who looks uncannily like Lisa. What exactly is going on is not for rational analysis.
