Melihat Angela sebagai sosok istri ideal yang bisa menggantikan mendiang istrinya sekaligus merawat rumah dan anak-anaknya. Ia pun segera melamar Angela.

⭐⭐½ (2.5/5)

Malicious (1973) is a curio — interesting in concept, mediocre in execution. Worth a watch only for fans of forgotten cinema or those researching the evolution of the “psycho-biddy” / gaslight thriller. The “fix” likely improves viewing stability, but can’t fix the script’s flaws.

Ultimately, Nino is the one who succeeds in dominating her, forcing Angela into a series of degrading games that highlight the film's darker, "malicious" themes. Key Highlights & Trivia Award-Winning Performance : Laura Antonelli won the Silver Ribbon for Best Actress
