## Synopsis

A Blade in the Dark is a 1983 Italian giallo film directed by Lamberto Bava and starring Andrea Occhipinti, Michele Soavi, and Valeria Cavalli. Originally planned for television, the film was made as a nearly two hour piece split into four parts each of which would end with a murder scene. After the film was found to be too gruesome for Italian television censors, it was re-edited into a feature film.
