Stylish but monotonous, unrewarding giallo.
21 March 2004
Set mostly in London, this giallo has some things going for it, including stylish direction, good-looking photography and surprisingly decent dubbing. But Sergio Martino makes the crucial mistake of letting Edwige Fenech carry the movie almost all by herself (he should have given the task to the smooth-as-always George Hilton). Don't get me wrong, she looks good enough to eat, but her acting is monotonous and her character terribly boring. She has no other function except to get scared (and to undress a couple of times). The whole movie basically proceeds like this: Fenech gets scared, gets chased, gets away, has a bad dream, gets scared again, gets chased, gets away....ad nauseam. The one effective scare occurs when she wakes up in a cottage to find...but I won't spoil it for you. (**)
