MURDER OBSESSION is a 1981 Italian horror thriller film in which an actor uncovers shocking secrets from his past while visiting his childhood home for a film shoot.

sexual violence and sexual threat
A strong scene of sexual violence shows a man pinning down a struggling woman, tearing off her clothes and assaulting her. In another scene, a home invader forcibly removes a woman’s dress, revealing her bare breasts, before attempting to strangle her; however, it is subsequently revealed that this 'attack' is being performed by actors on a film set. Another woman is tied up and stripped to her waist during an occult ritual. A man secretly takes photos of a couple having sex. A woman forcibly kisses her adult son.
nudity
Scenes of violence and sexual violence often feature gratuitous breast nudity. There is further sight of bare breasts, buttocks and pubic hair during sex scenes.
additional issues
Strong scenes of violence and bloody injury detail include grisly close-up sight of an axe striking a victim’s head and a chainsaw cutting into another person’s neck, as well as images of a naked and heavily bloodied female corpse and a bloody severed head; however viewers may find the gory effects unrealistic compared to modern films. A chicken is beheaded during an occult ritual, resulting in brief bloody detail, but there is no onscreen evidence of real animal cruelty. The film also contains strong sex scenes, as well as scenes of horror and threat in which people are attacked by a serial killer or abducted and menaced by hooded cultists as part of occult rituals. A person takes their own life off screen.
