    Review by Colin Sidoti ★★★½

    A pretty standard Italian giallo thriller with a little dash of poliziotteschi in the mix, some gruesome inventive death scenes, and George Hilton. Fans of the genre who have seen all the staples should seek it out, but I wouldn't recommend it as a starting point for the uninitiated.

    Review by Neil C ★★★

    I was in the mood for a giallo, so i gave this 1972 effort another spin. It's definitely not the best the genre has to offer (like most of Argento, What Have You Done To Solange?), nor is it the worst (that would be something like Strip Nude For Your Killer, or Seven Death in the Cat's Eye.) Giallo regular George Hilton plays a detective investigating the murder of an insurance adjuster, who was himself investigating the kidnapping/murder of a young girl and her father. It's rather pedestrian, visually unremarkable, and morally suspect (killing young girls is a no-no, but inappropriate/abnormal behaviour with one seems to be no big deal.) Ennio Moriconne's score alternates between sinister lullabye and nerve-jangling atonal dissonance, there's a particularly nasty death by circular saw (probably ahead of it's time for 1972), but the most effective moment is the closing scene where Hilton unmasks the killer.
