Animated drops of blood fall.
A caption reads: Laser Film presents
An animated metronome swings back and forth, reflecting a woman's face, then a skull.
A caption reads: Daria Nicolodi
A man's face appears, then a skull.
A caption reads: John Steiner in...
A disheveled woman screams as a sculpture of a hand falls off a shelf.
A caption reads: Shock. Blood drips from the lettering on a background of red and black.
Standing next to his smiling mother, a boy yells, Bruno! Bruno!
A blonde, mustachioed man in a pilot's uniform exits a plane.
Hello, Marco!
He descends the steps, then stoops to embrace the boy.
Hey, kiddo! How are you?
Bruno isn't my father. He's my mother's second husband, didn't you know?
A blonde woman suddenly spins round, her demeanor one of apprehension.
Ah! Help! Help!
People in an airplane shout and scream in terror. Bruno the pilot grips the joystick and looks over his shoulder tensely.
The blonde woman asks, Marco?
She grasps the ropes on a child's swing. Unseen and pinned to the seat is a photo of a smiling Marco.
A man and woman make love on the floor of a sitting room, surrounded by various objets d'art, including the hand sculpture.
Suddenly, the hand seems to move slightly of its own accord.
A boy grasps his bed clothes, anger written across his face.
Pigs! Pigs! Pigs!
Mom...
Later, he stands staring intently at a piece of paper. Then he cuts through some cloth with scissors, eyes glaring maniacally.
...I have to kill you.
A woman gasps as she lacerates her hand on something sharp.
Don't be so nervous, says Bruno to the woman. There's no reason. It's well over seven years now.
Yes, I know. But for a moment I had the impression he was there.
Ah, Dora. We had an agreement.
A caption reads: Shock
Sure, but you're not in my shoes.
All of a sudden he tells me, "Mom, I have to kill you."
Marco eavesdrops on his mother. Can you believe it? she asks.
Marco steals into her bedroom and opens a drawer. Fresh out of the shower, the mother turns with a nervous look.
Bruno peers through an ajar door. The mother, clutching a towel to her wet body, peers into the corridor.
Marco shows his drawings to a dark-haired young man.
- See if you like this, too. - Let's see. Sit down.
Yes, it's beautiful. You're very good. Can I keep them?
Yes, keep them. I can draw others like that.

With David Colin Jr.
and Ivan Rassimov
The blonde woman idly brushes her hand along piano keys. Suddenly she gasps as her finger has been cut.
She spies a razor blade inserted between the ivory keys. She extracts it and examines it closely.
Marco spies on her. She comes running out of the house and accidentally stands on a rake.
She stumbles heavily onto the grass. She sits up and stares down at her ankle, horrified.
A severed bloody hand grasps her ankle. Meanwhile, Marco's eyes turn milky white. Later, she recoils from something terrifying.
She pulls back the curtains to reveal a completely bricked-up window.
Marco runs along the corridor toward her, then suddenly metamorphosizes into a bloodied, maniacally grinning Bruno who grabs at her neck.
Later, she cautiously descends the stairs into a cellar. A man smashes a hammer into a brick wall. Furniture seems to move of its own accord.
Wardrobe doors blow open to reveal a hand clutching a blade.
The blade turns slowly then plunges to slice across her dress collar.
A caption reads: Shock, across a multi-colored geometric background.

In a career spanning four decades and encompassing virtually every genre under the sun, Mario Bava inspired multiple generations of filmmakers, from Dario Argento to Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton. Best remembered for his gothic horror movies, for his final feature, Shock, he eschewed the grand guignol excesses of Black Sabbath or Blood and Black Lace for a more intimate portrait of mental breakdown in which true horror comes from within. Dora (Daria Nicolodi, Deep Red) moves back into her old family home with her husband, Bruno (John Steiner, Tenebrae), and Marco (David Colin Jr., Beyond the Door), her young son from her previous marriage. But domestic bliss proves elusive as numerous strange and disturbing occurrences transpire, while Dora is haunted by a series of nightmares and hallucinations, many of them involving her dead former husband. Is the house itself possessed? Or does Dora's increasingly fragile grip on reality originate from somewhere far closer to home? Released in the United States as a sequel to Ovidio G. Assonitis's Beyond the Door, Shock more than lives up to its name, proving that, even at this late stage in his career, Bava hadn't lost his touch for terror. Now restored in high definition for the first time, the Maestro of the Macabre's chilling swansong disturbs like never before in this feature-laden release from Arrow Video.
