| Muze Description |
| International star Asia Argento portrays Anna Manni, a beautiful detective in pursuit of a savage serial killer-rapist who has been terrorizing Italy. When his trail leads Anna to Florence's famed Uffizi Museum, the investigation takes a violently psychotic turn. Anna is struck by the bizarre phenomenon known as the Stendhal Syndrome, a psychological reaction to artwork that forces Anna into a mysterious trance. An atmospheric horror film from longtime maestro Argento. |

The Bottom Line: It struck me that the screams in the film are probably closer to what really happens when women are raped. This made a chilling film that much colder.
Review: The Stendhal Syndrome is a recognized reaction and was so prior to this movie. The syndrome mimics a
