Plus, Troy Howarth would also disagree with you considering he featured it in So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films, Volume 2.

A lot of people don't seem to rate this one very highly, which is unfortunate as I rather like it.
I like it as well. However i also don't tend to look on it as a giallo as such. Even the case calls it 'Shock cinema' and mentions Hostel.

It is a bit of a mystery though so i can see why it would be thought a giallo by some.

It's a bit like 'it's Italian so it must be a giallo'.
