Watching this again after several years I was surprised to remember little other than that I had thought more of it before. I suspect that it was an early giallo for me and that I have seen better since but judging by the varied comments on this film I’m not so sure. Maybe it depends upon what mood you are in as to whether you get into this one. It starts well enough and there are some vigorous kills and decent Ortolani music, but then it seems to drift. The leads are not particularly impressive and although we do not get half an hour of plodding police investigation we do get a shot or two too many of them motoring…

A good Giallo from Umberto Lenzi.
A good script, some very graphic violence (including a murder by power drill) and a lot of beautiful women. The music is not bad either. -
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
