On a stormy Christmas Eve, a troupe of young actors and actresses is summoned by the renowned but reclusive playwright Heissenhoff to his family’s baroque theater to rehearse for his next play. Oh no, nothing related to gibberish about witchcraft that’s in the script he sent them. Once they’re all neatly locked up in his maze, he’s got a whole other play in mind for them. One that is played to the death, with his cute little lab rats pitted against a raged, eyeball-masked maniac. Place your bets! Who’d have thought the true heir to the Italian giallo maestri Argento, Bava, Martino and Lenzi would hail from… Poland? Dawid Torrone’s malicious creation – which he dubs “Giallo Pollo” – is a frenzied update of Soavi’s STAGE FRIGHT, resulting in a delirious and generously gory slasher for the whole family!
