Film Synopsis
A deranged stage magician named Montag the Magnificent performs gruesome illusions in which his female volunteers appear to be mutilated—only for them to later die in the exact same ways. A curious reporter and her boyfriend investigate the bizarre correlation between stage and reality. As they dig deeper, they uncover a nightmarish blur between hypnotism, hallucination, and actual carnage.
