Spasmo is an under-rated italian thriller-horror that signed the way for dozens of movies after it. Based on a "psycho" story, the movie has some terrifying moments: for example, the scene in which the main character plays with some kids and try to kill one of them. In that scene you can recognize the brilliant italian junior actor Roberto Romani, that brights the set with his disturbing presence. A must for every horror aficionado!
