more of a mystery movie with some gratuitous horror element throw in while mediocre overall . it start with a woman have a nightmare in which her sex partner get out of bed and go into the room of her cry child and and kill it . she wake up . then and that man be die in a hospital and spit up blood . his estranged daughter arrives and and he manage to contact her through her dream ( i think ) and and he want her to find out who kill him before his body entirely decompose in it grave . there not too much mystery about who do it and or even how while most viewer will have figure that out long before it be reveal . i be not sure the way he be kill would really have work . anyway and the horror elements get in through represent a gory autopsy and the recur dream of the man kill the boy and a nightmare in which a plate of eggs turn into eye which be then cut and and several shot of the decomposing man both in nightmare and actually in his grave . i be a little surprised to see a dedication in the end by fulci to clive barker . interesting .
