The Cat O' Nine Tails. 1971.

A newspaper reporter and a retired blind journalist team up to investigate a series of killings that may be connected.

Although this is listed as a horror I see it more crime mystery thriller from Argento, it does have some tense moments that seem to be built up slowly as we know something will happen and unexpectedly it changes then wham it happens. The two main leads James Franciscus and Karl Malden work well together to solve the riddle of the killings and what may be the connection.

Cited by many and Argento himself, this is one of his lesser great films, the plot can be all over the place, some things don't make much sense and goes on for longer than it should, the Arrow release is the better than what has been released before with sound and picture quality is cleaned up and more sharper.
