Don't Open the Door to the Man In Black is a TV movie directed by Giulio Questi, who made some of the oddest giallo films ever, Death Laid an Egg, as well as Arcana and one of my favorite Westerns, Django Kill...If You Live, Shoot! It was written by David Grieco.
Francesca (Claudia Muzii) is a fragile woman undergoing treatment, which has been recommended by her friend Lorenza (Aurore Clément). The root of her depression lies in a failed relationship with a man who also dated her mother, a famous actress who died before her time. Yet there's more to it when Francesca is found dead as well.
While this is a basic TV movie, it's still nice to see the face of Giuliano Gemma (A Pistol for Ringo). By the late 80s and early 90s, most Italian genre directors had moved to the small screen to tell their stories. This is a fine tale but not anything that needs to be hunted down.
