Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The turning point between the '60s and '70s is my favorite era-a contradictory pivot sometimes called Hippie Modernism. Feb 1, 2022 Full Review Dana Reinoos Screen Slate Thematically the closest Fulci got to his peer Argento. Colorful and wild, with orgies, LSD freakouts and painting-by-knife-throwing. The visuals are Fulci's most impressive. Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy The second of [Lucio Fulci's] gialli, and perhaps the most exemplary among the four. Rated: 8/10 Oct 30, 2013 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion An absolutely astringent vision of a reptilian world, where even reveries function not as escape but as blueprints for murder Feb 10, 2010 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A stylish giallo that sheds its suspenseful skin long before the story climaxes. Rated: B Nov 21, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not sure I have seen anything so purely giallo before, though I've seen quite a few by Argento. Didn't quite expect so much similarity to the noir genre, this is very much a hardboiled detective story wrapped up with some horror/gore imagery and a topping of Freudianism. Very stylish, fantastic Ennio Morricone score and keeps you guessing about the killer to the very end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review marco b Decent Story about an heiress whose neighbour is murdered. Included strange scenes with hippy drug addicts. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review júlio a Um giallo clássico. Só me pergunto onde tava a largatixa.. 🤔 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Backed by a stylish Ennio Morricone score, Lizard in a Woman's Skin offers sleek cinematography, taut pacing, surprisingly graphic imagery, and a wonderfully twisting plot. Deserving of its status as a prime giallo classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review delysid d this is one of my favorite giallo films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/18 Full Review Audience Member There's some cool visuals, and music, with a couple genuinely suspenseful sequences, but ultimately not Fulcis strongest film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
