And your remarks on Karin Schubert move me, I think it's a beautiful thing to wish salvation for a woman who suffered so harshly and suddenly with the downward spiral of the closest loved one in her life: her son. It must have been terrible for her to have witnessed her son struggling with the vicious cycles drugs entail. I would recommend if you haven't already watched them, the Sergio Martino gialli with Edwige Fenech, a delicate doe eyed Italian siren who often played psychologically tormented women like Schubert. "All the Colors of the Dark" is a rather campy yet dreamy narrative in which a woman (played by Fenech) gets invited into a Satanic cult by a neighbor to cure her of her recurring nightmare involving a creepy knife wielding individual, only for her to get entangled with a murderous lot of junkies who would rather see her die than renounce her "membership". Fenech is movingly fragile in her role as a woman droven to the point of insanity by nefarious persons wishing to gaslight her into complying with their demands. Very psychedelic yet aesthetically pleasing, if not particularly mainstream fare, and Edwige's performance is compelling. I heard the director was inspired by Rosemary's Baby, although the narrative is largely sidelined in favor of the visuals.
