Synopsis:

Corinne Cléry ( Hitch-Hike ), Michele Placido ( The Pajama Girl Case ), Tom Skerritt ( Alien ), and Eli Wallach ( The Lineup ) star in Plot of Fear ( E tanta paura ), a dark and perverse thriller from director Paolo Cavara ( Mondo Cane , The Black Belly of the Tarantula ).

Inspector Lomenzo (Placido) investigates a series of bizarre murders, each linked by the fact that pages from the German children's book Shock-Headed Peter have been left at the scene of the crime. As the bodies pile up, Lomenzo is guided by a model (Cléry) and a surveillance expert (Wallach) to a decadent club frequented by the rich and powerful...

Co-written by long-time Federico Fellini collaborator Bernadino Zapponi (who also co-wrote Dario Argento's Deep Red ), and incorporating a specially produced erotic animation by Francesco Maurizio Guido aka Gibba (best-known for his comic cartoon King Dick ), Plot of Fear is a disturbing and engrossing giallo .
