Viewing Notes
As a Giallo (and is it really a Giallo?) this is pretty average but it does have a fun score by Morricone and some great editing, lighting and cinematography that set it apart. You just keep waiting for the tension to ratchet up and it really never does. The deluxe set from Indicator includes a really nice booklet that I need to read through.
