Hadn't seen this since it came out - hated it back then but compared to Argento's Dracula, it's up there with Deep Red and Suspiria by comparison.

Okay, it's not, but it's far better than I remember despite having some awful effects shots and a central premise that revolves around the revenge of a man who was abandoned as a baby and reared by rats. Yes, rats. It's not a great film but there's enough of Argento's batty flourishes (completely removed from his stab at Dracula, sadly) and a wonderful, melancholy score by the maestro Morricone.
