A 1982 Italian giallo film from master horror film maker Dario Argento. It stars Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, Daria Nicolodi, Giuliano Gemma, and Veronica Lario.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The film was released in Italy and through most of Europe without any reported censorship problems, but was classified and banned as a Video Nasty in the United Kingdom. Its theatrical distribution in the United States was delayed until 1984, when it was released in a heavily-censored version under the title Unsane.Franciosa stars as Peter Neal, a American writer of violent mystery novels. In Italy to promote his latest work, he is accompanied by his literary agent Bullmer (Saxon) and his assistant Anne (Nicolodi). He is unaware that he is also being followed by his embittered ex-wife Jane (Lario).Prior to Neal's arrival in Rome, a young woman is brutally slashed to death by an unseen killer. The murderer sends Neal a letter informing him that his books have inspired him to go on a killing spree. Neal is soon contacted by the police, who put Detective Giermani (Gemma) in charge of the investigation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While the killings continue, Neal notices that TV interviewer Cristiano Berti (John Steiner) appears to have an unusually intense interest in the novelist's work.Just when you think you know who the killer is, he is violently killed himself.

The Alibi: Deliberately invoked by one of the killers. Neal uses Berti's killings, which happened before Neal came to Italy, to throw suspicion off himself as he plans the murders of Berti, his agent, his wife, and his secretary. He advises the police that, in his opinion, all of these killings are being committed by the same person — and since he wasn't in the country yet, that rules him out, right?

Accidental Murder: In the end, Anne accidentally kills Neal when she pushes a statue and a sharp piece falls off, transfixing his chest and pinning him to the wall — a death that is as accidental as it is a merciful stroke of luck, as it prevents him from stabbing her as well.
