'To Die at Midnight') is a 1986 Italian giallo film starring Valeria D'Obici and Leonardo Treviglio, and directed by Lamberto Bava.

[3] After Nicola Levi sees his wife Sara cheating on him, he gets drunk while waiting for her to return home, then fights her with vulgar insults and tries to kill her.

Inspector Terzi, who’s missing his pipe, has a daughter named Carol who studies criminal psychology at college under Professor Berardi, along with her friends Gioia and Monica.

One of their subjects it Franco Tribbo, an extremely violent and dangerous serial killer of women known as the "Midnight Ripper" Berardi interviewed, and who is believed to have died in a mental institute fire he’s suspected of setting.

With Nicola still on the run, another woman is forced out of her car, chased into an empty stage, and violently killed with the same ice pick by the same figure.

As both women’s corpses were mutilated before and after they died, akin to Tribbo, Berardi is afraid he’s still alive and killing again, especially as she sees him breaking into her house.

"[4] Adrian Luther-Smith in his book Blood & Black Lace found the film to be "hardly a ground-breaking genre entry" while it still had enough style and imagery to make it a must-see for giallo regulars.
