The script comes from one of the best writing teams for genre cinema Elisa Briganti & Dardano Sacchetti. The plot is solid as a result and for the most part makes sense. Though it lacks the bizarre flights of fancy of some of the stranger Giallo pictures out there. Apparently it was intended to be a TV mini-series which would explain the lengthy run time but overall its worth checking out. |
Trouble with this film is that one particular person's appearance wouldn't fool anybody.
