What happens

Touch of Death (Italian: Quando Alice ruppe lo specchio) is a direct-to-video Italian horror film directed by Lucio Fulci. The film was developed as part of a series for direct-to video and television films titled I maestri del thriller which had eight other films in the series. Fulci was invited to join the project originally as a supervisor, but brought in his own story for Touch of Death which began filming on 22 June 1988. The films were later released to home video under the heading of "Lucio Fulci presenta" (transl. Lucio Fulci presents) by Formula Home Video, but were sued by the producer Carlo Alberto Alfieri who owned the home video rights. The films in the series were later released by Avo Film on VHS and DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
