Synopsis: Director Dario Argento (
Tenebre, Inferno) returns to classic form with his vicious thriller about a serial killer who taunts police with online video poker. But for every round the cops lose, a kidnapped young girl is mutilated live via web cam. Now an Italian detective (Stefania Rocca of
The Talented Mr. Ripley) and an Irish forensics expert (Liam Cunningham of
Dog Soldiers) must race against time to trap a maniac. From computer screens to crime scenes, the games have begun. The stakes are murder. And the hunt is on for the psychopath known only as The Card Player.
