I swear this movie has colors I’ve never seen before in my life. Maybe it was just a pigment of my imagination.
A stunningly beautiful pioneer of a picture. This one has it all—an ominous killer, swanky soundtrack, a gaggle of models getting picked off, sexist pig men, brutal deaths, and the colors... my god the colors. It’s all here, a template for the next wave of lurid sleaze murder jams. A blueprint of classy black gloved art-filth. Some came before it, but the nail was totally hit on the head right here.Essential Bava, essential cinema.
