Grade Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................

During a séance, a woman is warned by the spirit of her dead mother- "DON'T GO TO TURIN....DON'T GO TO THE VILLA". So what does she do? Well, naturally, she high-tails it to Turin, and heads straight for the villa. Said villa, which she and her siblings have recently inherited, is haunted by malevolent spirits who enjoy driving people nuts and turning lights red. By the time our dim-witted leading lady finally looks in the attic, you'll most likely be in a deep slumber. Who cares, though? You will miss absolutely nothing of interest, and any dream you may have will be infinitely more entertaining than this uninvolving, crudely dubbed Eurotravesty.
