As an avid consumer
of giallo and Eurosleaze this purchase was mandatory, but I have to admit that
the striking cover made med to prioritize this one. The initial sequence with a
nude woman tortured and killed raised the expectations even more (I know but it’s
just a movie), before it turns into a fairly well conceived Hitchcockian fare. I don’t provide any synopsis, they are available elsewhere and (I am a bit embarrassed to say this) I am not able to, anyway. The second part of the movie featuring a cult of masked killers didn’t engage me. Instead, as often is the case, I just sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere and aesthetics. The whole thing was reasonably well executed inn all departments.
A tip to the good people at Mondo Macabro: The use of stills on the back cover on every MM release gives the impression of being a full screen VHS-transfer. I’ve followed this label for many years and know what level of quality they stand for. Despite that my hart sinks when I pick up a release and see washed and grainy out imagery on the back.
