An American photography student in Italy, with an architecture fetish, and her friend come across an abandoned mansion in a quiet town. The splattery demise of a thief in the post-credits scene has already tipped us off that this is a place we don’t want our heroines to be. The Ohio-born gal convinces her cautious friend to break in with her to get some killer photos... yeah... bad idea. The spacious crap-shack is occupied by some Gunther-disease-suffering creep which, mixed with years of isolated rough living, has turned him into a stab-happy blood consumer. The poor girl who got dragged into the joint is taken out almost immediately and that leaves our American alone and trapped in the mansion. She eventually meets up with one of the thieves (the one that didn’t get his throat slit) and they both try to find a way out of the horrid home without falling into the clutches of the severely photosensitive psycho. There’s a couple of cops, an old man hanging around outside of the building acting all suspicious and a blood-collecting weirdo connected to the building and its inhabitant. We don’t get a good look at the “monster” for a large chunk of the runtime but we do get to see plenty from his blurry POV... and after seeing him, it was probably the right choice. Makenna Guyler stars and that’s about the only thing saving this from the garbage heap.
