After an Etruscan burial tomb is photographed a series of killings occur which are hinted at as being done by some sort of supernatural monster but the explanation is more natural, this being basically a 'giallo' with the usual complicated plot and rushed ending where the killer is eventually revealed. At which point I went, huh? It's much too long (105 minutes) with unsympathetic characters who don't act like real people. No one in the cast stands out except for Horst Frank, always an interesting actor. Unfortunately a stray cat gets killed which wasn't nice. The best things about the movie are the widescreen cinematography, the Italian locations and a fine music score by the ever reliable Riz Ortolani.
The ending was confusing as it never explained the significance of the red shoes. The character of Igor was traumatised by his mother being attacked by his father but she was wearing white shoes. Actually I couldn't understand why the murders were carried out in the first place. Watched a dubbed version so perhaps it was clearer in the original language. But I doubt it.
