The Case of the Bloody Iris
Directed by Giuliano Carnimeo
A model is stalked by a killer after moving into an apartment where a two young women were viciously slain. Now Jennifer (giallo goddess Edwige Fenech) has to figure out how to expose the masked maniac with a taste for luscious ladies before she becomes the next victim. Is it her group sex cult member ex-hubby? A predatory lesbian neighbor? The deformed son of a sinister widow? Or the building’s blood-phobic architect? Italian horror screenwriting legend Ernesto Gastaldi’s (TORSO) scary script is too good for us to spoil what happens in the fearsome final act.

3-star movie. Anyone who gives it more or less is biased. Just not that great nor that bad. Grew tired of it as it chugged along, into it's last 15 minutes.
Part of the "cop misses important event while sitting outside in a car" cinematic universe.
This is one of my favorite giallos. Love the setting and comedic qualities to some of the side characters. Lots of fun red herrings and LOVE the gorgeous Edwige Fenech.
Not the best Giallo but mostly entertaining-the red herrings were a bit annoying though. Didn't like the dig at horror fans but did like how people don't initially react to the murders which was funny. I had figured things out so wasn't surprised by the reveal. Not bad, decent.
Some slow and goofy-non-sensical parts but this movie has the ingredients of all good giallos (a cool looking killer, stunning women and engaging mystery). The killer reveal and motive did surprise me but made sense. Nowhere near A-tier Argento level, but a solid giallo.
