Title: Lacklustre giallo
Review: I was disappointed with this film. Having recently seen Martino's other giallo's, this easily ranks as his worst effort. But if you love giallo's (like me) there's some to enjoy here. The music score is good, the photography excellent (and the picture quality of this disc allows you to enjoy it's scenery to the fullest) and it's got some decent kills.However it's nearly completely devoid of any real suspense. It's brutal subject matter is handled rather clumsily, it drags incredibly; for a very long time absolutely nothing happens. Granted, it does have a bit of tension in it's final third, but just think what, say, Dario Argento could have pulled off with a finale like that.This was Martino's last giallo. I personally think he was getting bored with the genre. This movie seems to have been rushed and not made with any real passion. A shame, it had great potential
