Tasos L @TasosLe 10/14/2024 A very decent giallo, the atmosphere in this one is great. See more JJJJJJ J @RT10868636 10/28/2023 The plot is interesting enough I guess. This film really just does nothing to set its self apart... and there is way to much nudity. The plot of this film is definitely not generic in someways but it just isn't particularly great or thought provoking either. Stylistically, it is very much your basic giallo. Okay but not great. A good watch for fans of the genre but a skip otherwise.

Despite the fact that most Italian directors of that time insisted on using a sound set instead of micing in their actors, it resonates with beautiful collages of mastery. The twists in the story arc it in ways that are unique and interesting. Even though they treated the servant like racists, the overwhelming sympathy for the characters is something that shines through the story. This is a feat that is not possible, usually. I loathed the part where they mutilated the cat, who was an onscreen presence throughout the movie. Loved this movie.

Martino adeptly handles the intricate plot and the three lead actors give memorably delicious performances. Definitely one of the more interesting genre pictures. See more 11/09/2017 Boy men just do not know what two women could possibly do in the bedroom, do they? Like most giallos, this has a better title and poster than movie. That said this is definitely one of the more watchable ones as far as plot goes. Dopey but amusing and decently brisk. See more 04/12/2017 Ah, is there a finer combination than Sergio Martino and Edwige Fenech in a '70s Giallo? A freaky author ends up with a dead mistress and that's just the beginning as more bodies pile up and we get all the usual tropes of the genre to keep you guessing about the identity of the killer. Great stuff and one that I would use to try to turn others on to the genre if they express an interest. Recommended. See more Read all reviews
