It's the sexy 1970s and a horror movie editor finds himself involved in a string of killings when his coworkers start to die.
It's hard to give this as score for bad acting, editing, goofy plot points and bad dialogue because that was the point of the movie. The entirety of the production is intended to be a parodied version of Giallo films, so everything is intentionally goofy and poorly done. Unfortunately, that's not enough to construct a joke, let alone a movie. One of the most recurring "jokes" is the massive amount of full-frontal nudity (99.99% female and 0.01% male.) So again, that's the entirety of the joke: "Hey guys, look at how much nudity and exploitation of women used to go on in those movies. We did it too. Isn't that hilarious?"
This movie is like later seasons of The Simpsons and Family Guy when the joke is "hey, remember that?" Everything is intended to be referential, and not stand-alone high quality production or effect. It's almost like the filmmakers made this movie specifically for hipster fans of 70s Giallo movies to watch with their friends, so the cool hipster can showcase every aspect of their knowledge of Giallo films.
I sincerely did not enjoy the viewing and I am very likely not to ever seek out seeing it again. However, there were a handful of things that made me chuckle, so this scores higher than a 3. I also slightly enjoyed the lighting and the attention granted to practical horror effects.
If you are a fan of Giallo and you want to show off to all your loser friends how much cooler you are than them, by pointing out all of the elements of Giallo, then watch this movie. If you don't know anything about Giallo and your friends makes you watch: they think they are cooler than you. Ditch that friend, and seek out a better horror comedy.
