action
Aura Petrescu, who suffers from an eating disorder, breaks out of a mental institution. After her escape from the asylum, she is stopped by David Parsons when she tries to take her own life. David promises Aura to support them. Shortly afterwards, she is arrested by the police and taken to her parents.
One evening there will be a séance in your parents' house under the direction of Aura's media-talented mother Adriana Petrescu. During this séance, Adriana appears to make contact with the ghost of a murder victim and she runs out of the house as if in a trance , followed by her husband. Aura watches her parents as they leave the house and follows them both into a forest. There she sees a murderer holding her parents' heads in his hands and flees. This murderer has already killed several people by beheading and now it appears that Aura is also being pursued by him.
After a while, Aura's therapist is shot by the police because the heads of the murder victims are found in his trunk. Then Aura disappears without a trace and David tries in a panic to find her. When he sees a passer-by wearing a bracelet like Aura, he follows him into his apartment. There he is knocked down. It turns out that Aura's mother is the killer. She only faked her own murder so that she could continue to take revenge undisturbed. Many years ago, when their first child was born, there was a power outage and an explosion that scared the doctor and beheaded the baby with a scalpel. Shortly before the mother can attack David again in the basement, a boy from the neighborhood puts the decapitation machine used in the first murders around her neck and heads her.
criticism
"The relatively bloodless staged horror thriller concentrates more on the psychologizing side of the nightmare than on bloody moments of shock, but it is extremely exciting and surprises with unusual emotional developments."
