One of the best giallos (the peculiar police/terror genre made in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s). In an upscale all girl catholic high school in England, Enrico, a handsome Italian gym teacher, in marital trouble with his frosty wife Herta, a fellow German teacher at the school, has an affair with one of his students, Elizabeth (Cristina Galbo). While they are making out in a park, Elizabeth witnesses one of her fellow girls at the school being stabbed. Soon a number of other girls at the same school are killed one by one, stabbed by the same apparent killer in their genitalia. Enrico becomes the center of the suspicions of the police. But who is really the killer? Could behind this be a terrible secret held by the girls?
Set in London, this nicely plotted film is an Italian-German coproduction with mostly German and Italian actors. There is a final twist (which of course I'm not going to reveal), but the good thing is that it was unpredictable but it makes sense and it actually makes the film better, nicely connecting all the loose threads. With a nice color photography and a jazzy score by Ennio Morricone. The beautiful actresses playing the students in various states of undress add to the appeal of this (be calm, they are and look a bit older than the high school students they portray).
