Oops...I didn't like that

I had very different expectations for this work. Expected a lot more gore and a lot spicier overall. Ultimately, apart from a few scenes, it remains very well-behaved and not surprising at all. Apart from the beautiful cinematography, there isn't much I can do with this. And suddenly done abruptly, just when you think everything is about to happen. Then give me The Eyes of My Mother. 4/10

Great video with a truly wonderful giallo vibe. Recognized soundtrack from Profondo Rosso, which this film as a whole is somewhat reminiscent of. Consider, for example, the setting and the use of split screens. The 'gory' moments contrast strongly with the elegant, stylish aesthetic and Pesce, just like with his previous film, succeeds in creating some very special scenes. I thought it was slightly better than The Eyes of My Mother, although now I also feel like reviewing it. Small 4* for this one.

Reasonable film in which a man makes all the preparations to kill a prostitute. A idiosyncratic film that actually looks good and has a few nice horror moments. However, the characters were less interesting to me (mainly because it is all too vague). This is not due to the two protagonists who still keep the cat and mouse game interesting. A narrow 3.0 stars.
