Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 10/08/2021
This isn't the most flamboyant or bizarre giallo, but it's stylish, and well-above-average in terms of direction, writing, and casting. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Smart, sleek, sultry, and shrewd in its final moments Sergio Martino's film is one of the best entries in giallo filmmaking... Go to Full Review
Fernando F. Croce CinePassion 09/25/2009
The morbid longings of the disinterested wife, funneled into brutal fantasies shot with unnerving lyricism Go to Full Review

Larry M. @Wind-up-bird Oct 17 Solid Gallo. B#@bs, red paint, moody music, and thankfully no plot holes. See more Tasos L @TasosLe 09/30/2024 No matter how many times i' ve watched it, i could have never been bored. A golden era of gialli movies. See more 05/15/2021 If you didn't love this movie, I don't know what to tell you. Giallo at its best. See more 10/04/2020 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! 🤤🤤😀 See more júlio a @RT51210674 11/23/2019 Um Giallo bem sensual, cheio de reviravoltas. É bem divertido :D See more 10/28/2015 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.
