"So Sweet, So Perverse" is an early giallo produced and directed by the double team of Sergio Martino, of the black-glove classic "Torso", and Umberto Lenzi, who is best known for his notorious "Cannibal Ferox", but worked in virtually all the popular Italian exploitation genres.
I'm not really sure what to make of it. It takes half the run-time for anything to really happen: first, an old man almost kills a younger guy shooting clay pigeons, the gun going off and barely missing him. Then we are introduced to a beautiful black girl (called "the latest acquisition" by the sophisticated types gialli are always about) who strips, showing her breasts, at a party.
The movie seems to be about tensions between an older gent, his beautiful young wife, and a younger man who enters the picture.
One of the guys ends up dead, though this is unseen, and then two women think they're going to be next.
It becomes a bit like "I Know What You Did Last Summer", with messages written on windows by a killer. The only difference is, they're the only one who knows: I missed whatever these two women are supposed to have done. Obviously they are responsible for the death of one of the guys. But I don't understand how.
The movie actually culminates in some fairly exciting scenes, so I'll still give it a moderately positive review. Just the first half of the movie is dead weight.
