Atmosphere to spare

Warning: Spoilers
Not my favourite Giallo of all time but, considering it's directed by Umberto Lenzi, it's a hell of a surprise! This one stars Antonio Sabato (Sr.) and follows the usual bizarre, serpentine Giallo plot with some memorable murder set-pieces. The opening murder, featuring a sleazy-looking prostitute, sets the tone for what is to come.

The atmosphere in this film (as in most Giallo films) is exceptional and there is a terrific, evocative climax at a remote villa. The final shot in any film is important to me and this one lingers for a long time, for some reason.

Definitely worth a look.
