12/23/2017 Sergio Martino directed one of the better giallo's with this violent but fun murder mystery. See more 04/22/2012 I love this Giallo it's got a decent mystery plot and a badass Bruno Nicolai score. See more 09/11/2011 I don't see why this movie is so well liked. I am a huge fan of giallo films, but to me, this was a sloppy movie. The script was horrible, the delivery of the lines (if you watch it overdubbed in English was kind of funny), and when the case is "solved," they leave a big hole at the end. People are acting like everything is all worked out and I am yelling at the TV that it isn't and just go back to some key scenes. Then it ends. Sorry, I've seen match better from Sergio Martino. See more 04/14/2011 The most memorable thing about fairly run-of-the-mill giallo The Case of the Scorpion's Tail is the trailer, which shamelessly compares itself to other 'masterpieces on violence' such as The Golem, Battleship Potemkin and M. The film itself is fairly conventional. Director Sergio Martino admits that he padded out the first half after the film's running time came up short, and it shows: it's not until the halfway point that the film gets much in the way of energy. The Scope location photography in London and Greece is attractive and there's some amusement to be had from the terrible model work in a plane explosion or a sunglass wearing villain called Omar who looks like a hung over Charlton Heston in Touch of Evil after being dragged through a thorn bush, but overall the film is nothing to write home about. See more 02/13/2011 It was very Interesting, i like Giallo movies but only the ones that would interest me, some are very gory yet others can be very good murder Mystery movies. Deep Red is no doubt the greatest one of them all. Sergio Martino is a very giffted director with some amazing direction. But i felt the story can be...well easy to figuer out sometimes. See more 09/30/2010 A very good Italian pulp fiction murder mystery. The outcome is perhaps obvious, but the filmaking, the fine locations, the beautiful actresses and the violent scenes make it a great example. If you like these kinds of things, and can tollerate subtitles, see it. See more Read all reviews
