While Lamberto Bava, son of Mario, deserves credit for keeping the giallo genre alive in the 1980s, this one is a middling effort. Bava does do some things right, like keeping us guessing who the murderer is (there is a plethora of suspects). But he fails to enliven the equally plentiful dialogue scenes - they are a drag. Serena Grandi is utterly captivating (her face or her body alone would be enough to make her the hottest Italian actress of the 1980s - imagine what their combination does!), but second-billed genre veteran Daria Nicolodi is wasted. The coolest touch is when we see two victims as giant insects (or something like that) from the killer's perspective - but this motif is neither continued nor explained. ** out of 4.
