This isn't the most flamboyant or bizarre giallo, but it's stylish, and well-above-average in terms of direction, writing, and casting.

Smart, sleek, sultry, and shrewd in its final moments Sergio Martino's film is one of the best entries in giallo filmmaking...

Rated: 4.5/5

The morbid longings of the disinterested wife, funneled into brutal fantasies shot with unnerving lyricism

This is a fantastic giallo and kept me entertained throughout, solid story, good acting(mostly), and beautiful shooting as always from Sergio Martino. Overall if you like Giallos, Thrillers, Murder/Mysteries Then this is a must watch. All hail Edwige Feneche! 🤤🤤😀

Also known as Blade of the Ripper in the USA, this first time giallo from Sergio Martino is filled with nudity and double crosses. But I felt it wasn't very good. I got confused with the plot, the acting was subpar, and the kill scenes were messy and fake looking, especially the midpoint attack. The plot is cheesy, and the only thing I liked was the haunting musical theme that gets over-used by the film's end. I do not consider this among the best of the giallo genre.
