7/10
Somehow makes a ton of ripped off elements its own...

Surprisingly awesome giallo! While the plot is nothing to write home about, this is still genuinely suspenseful and well-directed (albeit with some annoying editing choices during some of the murder sequences). In fact, there were some nice Hitchcockian touches throughout, such as a scene at the beginning where some annoyingly loud music prevents the protagonist (and the viewer) from hearing an incriminating argument between two mysterious figures. While most of the murders aren't exactly show stopping, there's one near the end of the film that will definitely stick in my memory. There was one shot in it that was surprisingly squirm inducing for an otherwise (mostly) bloodless movie.

And I don't know why, but apparently all of the women in this film like to shower with the curtain and bathroom door open.
