Sette Note In Nero (aka The Psychic) (1977)

A recently married woman (Jennifer O'Neill) has visions of an older woman murdered by a limping man and her body buried behind a wall. While her husband (Gianni Garko) is away on a business trip, she decides to renovate an abandoned mansion owned by her husband. It is there she discovers a crack in the wall and eventually a skeleton of a dead woman who had been buried behind the wall. But that's only the beginning as she perseveres in locating the killer. Directed by Lucio Fulci (LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN), this is a gripping giallo that grows in intensity and even when you realize who the murderer is, you're still riveted. The film's only flaw (and it's a minor one) in my eyes is why the killer would bury a second body behind a wall several years later. Surely, there's an easier way to get rid of a body. Although considered a giallo, I was more taken by the murder mystery "whodunit" aspect of it. Stylish and effective, it's a favorite of Quentin Tarantino who wanted to remake it in the late 1990s. The film wasn't released in the U.S. until 1979. With Gabriele Ferzetti, Ida Galli, Marc Porela and Jenny Tamburi.
