Stefania Rocca plays Anna Mari, a police detective whose birthday is ruined by a bizarre email she receives. In the email is a challenge to play a game of poker over the internet...and if Det. Mari loses, an innocent woman will be murdered right there on screen. A demented serial killer begins to challenge the police with this game again and again, and Mari launches into an intense investigation to find the maniac. But meanwhile, the police must enlist the help of a teenage boy, who is also a poker genius, to hold off the killer. How long can THE CARD PLAYER be kept at bay before the police lose again and another woman is murdered? [More]

Very welcome change of pace from Dario Argento. Plays on the sound of the victim rather than the gory sights of the deaths.
