7/10
Good stuff

Pretty standard, straight forward giallo that's executed better-than-average by everyone involved. Duccio Tessari is an incredible director, and he does a good job here. The soundtrack is quite good and hits all the classic giallo notes.

Senta Berger is stunning as the lead. I could not take my eyes off of her. She really helps carry the film. Luc Merenda was good - he was hard to like and hard to hate. Anita Strindberg had a very small and forgettable role so don't watch this film on her account.

The weakest part was honestly the story. You can see the twist coming from miles away. Despite that, the rest of the film is well-made and quite enjoyable. You should definitely check it out if you're a fan of suspense/thrillers.
