A group of high fashion models have been invited to an isolated house to attend a party. As the night wears on, one of the models falls victim to a deadly 'accident,' which sets into motion a series of brutal murders, all traced back to a shocking secret...

Why it matters

A neon-lit giallo pastiche that blends slasher thrills with Italy’s late-80s fashion fetish, delivering stylish kills drenched in synth and suspense.

  • Directed by Dario Piana, a cult figure in ’80s Italian genre cinema with a flair for glammed-up gore.
  • Showcases the era’s obsession with blending eroticism and violence, a late-period giallo echoing Argento and Fulci but with a sleeker, MTV-ready sheen.
  • Practical effects and inventive murder set pieces that lean into the slasher grindhouse vibe rather than refined suspense.
  • Perfect for fans of ’80s Eurotrash horror and anyone curious about how giallo mutated under neon lights and designer heels.
