You mean the bit where he (the tramp) says in Italian that was going for a "Ca Ca"? I chuckled at that too.

That's the one!!(it's not letting me post the rest of my review, keep getting a failure message!)

Some of the music is very reminiscent of the ultra-crap Manos: Hands of Fate, if anyone's ever seen that?!

[RobbieD]

Although accomplished sounding, most times it doesn't fit!

I think it could have done with some scarier music,

[RobbieD]

but we all know how much Italians enjoy their funky techno beat!

I love in some of these movies that when you see a close up of someone being stabbed it is suddenly so obviously FAKE, and Torso doesn't let you down. It's fun to freeze-frame these bits to see a balloon with a wig and eyes drawn on being impaled...

I found the storyline a bit confusing (!) and to be honest I'm still unsure about some parts, I think it was because the lead actors looked the same - I promise I was paying attention!! It was definitely more enjoyable than some cheap B-movies I've watched lately.

All in all I wouldn't say this was the best movie of its kind I've ever seen but it's certainly not the worst. If you like the genre / giallos, you'll enjoy this. Recommend.

I thought the last 20m where she is trapped in the house with the killer was excellent.
