A great giallo. I was thoroughly engaged with this all the way through. The final third marks this out as one of the best of the genre. Don't expect it to be full-on horror which it isn't by any means but just soak up the story and enjoy.
Ok. Mediocre.
This really felt like a movie of two halves. The first half is pretty typical '70s Euro sleaze - lots of nudity for highly dubious reasons (hmm, just got home, better take a shower!) and a couple of pretty tame murders. However the second half improves as the story starts to come together and become more of a typical 'whodunnit'. There's some quite nice camera work and sound design too. Ultimately these movies aren't going to be for everyone but if you enjoy the genre this is one of the better ones on Shudder.
gorgeous story that made me think of women's oppression and freedom. Soundtrack is amazing.
She sure knows how to pick 'em!
