Movie description:
Suspected to have killed his father, cause found shocked close to his parent’s body with a gun in his hand, Ricky is confined in a clinic. A doctor, who does not believe to this story, investigates and with the help of Ricky’s mother will discover the scary truth.
The story revolves on a handsome man stumbling into the former love of his life, but she doesn’t seem to recognize him. The girl, Sandra, suffers from a bad case of amnesia and her overly vain mother protects her from the outside world. Oscar doesn’t give up and, with the help of a befriended doctor; he learns that Sandra’s condition got caused by the traumatic witnessing of her young son standing next to his father’s dead body with a pistol in his hands. Ever since then little Ricky is considered to be an emotionless youthful killer, but the death of Fabrizio Garces is a lot more mysterious and complicated than it seems.
»Devil in the Brain« is a terrifically atmospheric thriller and Sergio Sollima succeeds in making common and clichéd themes – like betrayal, adultery and murder conspiracy – feel refreshingly original.
