This slow, plodding, uninvolving movie, is somehow mysteriously given if not high scores, than above average ones. But even those are pretty much an overpraising of the film. One thing you can't really say about the majority of the films in the Giallo genre is that the excel in plot, for they really don't and the aesthetics, atmosphere, and style are all far paramount to the substance. The best of these type of movies (the earlier Argento films, films of Bava, etcetera...) excelled greatly at this. But this film doesn't even get the atmosphere right and as such relies on the plot which is poor to say the least. It doesn't work in the least and you'll likely be bored to tears. Blue Underground does an excellent job on the transfer naturally as always, but that was way more than this forgotten movie that should have stayed so deserved.
