    My favourite Lenzi film it's so nice to look at, quite fantastic and almost surreal at times. Kendall and Hoffmann make a great 'team' here, Adolfo Lastretti as the hitman had an even bigger part in Lenzi's excellent eurocrime Syndicate Sadists (1975). Also, Morricone's lovely score is well worth it.

    Finished watching this tonight, and wow! It was so weird, but so fantastic!
    I’ve had the Morricone score live rent free in my head for years, but had never actually gotten round to seeing the film itself, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was really good! The third act worked terrifically!

      It’s such an odd film, but it’s great. Unsettling and surprising. Glad it lived up to your hopes after all the years of waiting to see it.

    So glad you've reviewed this wonderfully strange giallo-tastic movie. I love this style of film. Very 'of it's time' in some ways, and yet 'timeless' in others. Great review.

      Thanks Parry. Not to sure what I was expecting getting into this one. But it was way better than I expected. Unlike some other Italian films it was constructed really well. A really great story.

      It’s one of those films that just linger in the collection. Every now and then I’d pull it out look at the cover and go nah, not today. Glad I forced myself to watch it.

    First saw this on VHS and never really got it then. Since picked it up on 88 films and have started to warm to it. Although the plot does seem to me to be a bit absurd.
    As for Suzy Kendall I would recommend the film 'Assault' if you have not already seen it.

    There was the problem; you've always gotta sort the possible Homicidal mania by September 30th. Great work overall; same kinda odd editing as House By The Cemetery just without the screaming kid. Liked it.

      Man v Film I think it's a very clever film and the ending was like you said jaw dropping and as much as the date thing made me laugh it doesn't spoil the film. However can you imagine his 'To do list.

    Btw since you are with italian movies, i would like to ask about your opinion of Mario Bava as a director, and about "Planet of the Vampires" in particular, i mean, not just the Scott's "Alien" movie, and even more, the whole "Prometheus" saga, came from that movie, what do you think about it?

      @@manvfilm You so should watch it, is such a masterpiece, and besides the scrypt, it has a scene that it has exactly an equal on Scott's "Alien" but from that scene they created the whole "Prometheus" mitology, please watch it.

      Cheers Mark. Not really to sure what to cover is all about! It’s a bit of a twisted thriller, absolutely no need for a screaming breast.

      In the Italian poster there's a hand coming out of a head, really weird artwork but I guess it fits the schizo feel of some of these characters.
