Big ol' snooze fest! Sooooo boring and the dubbing is just plain awful; "If we had some whiskey, now would be the time to drink it!" It's so slow and boring I really didn't give a fuck by the end who was killing everyone, it could have been Father Christmas for all I care. This film has practically NOTHING going for it. Maybe the killing scenes were OK but that's it.

"Considering how low the budget obviously was, Bava does a great job crafting a classic giallo mystery."

Misogynistic, poorly made, terribly acted and (worst of all) BORING. Apparently, this was supposed to be a giallo television series, but it got rejected for being too violent/low quality so they spliced the available episodes together and plopped it into Italian theaters. They didn't do a very good job at editing it; a murder conveniently happens about every 30 minutes, like clockwork. It's jarring.

I know plotholes are par for the course when it comes to gialli, but this is ri-goddamn-diculous. Add to this some of the worst dialogue ever spoken in a horror film and you have a movie that actually makes me glad that the generally less inventive slashergenre killed off the giallo.
