A gym teacher at a Catholic Girls School becomes the main suspect in a series of brutal murders. Giallo, a lurid, uniquely sadistic strain of Italian horror film, emerged in the early 70's sandwiched snugly between Norman Bates and Michael Meyers. This elite group of slasher films is known for its ability to do one thing better than all others. In these hands, the objectification, rape, and subsequent dismemberment of women has never been presented with such an appreciative degree of stylistic gusto. The influence on American filmmakers is obvious — Hitchcock’s wasn’t the only career Brian DePalma was guilty of ransacking. Good for it's kind, if you go for this sort of thing. The mystery will keep you guessing throughout and the carnage which by today’s standards appears downright chivalrous. Massimo Dallamano directs Fabio Testi, Karin Baal, and Camille Keaton.
