A Blade in the Dark

A Blade in the Dark (La casa con la scala nel buio, 1983) is an Italian giallo you can watch online on iFILM. Bruno, a young film composer, rents an isolated villa to write the score for a new horror picture.

The deeper he sinks into the job, the more his own life starts mirroring the movie on his editing deck — every visitor who climbs that staircase tends not to come back down. Lamberto Bava, son of horror legend Mario Bava, leans on the genre's sharpest tools: the straight razor, the dark stairwell, the long pause before the strike. Andrea Occhipinti plays a man who clues in far too late. A grimy, nerve-tightening 1983 slasher built for fans of vintage Italian terror. Stream A Blade in the Dark online on iFILM.
