Viewing Notes

While not a top tier gialli it still has a good mystery that kept me guessing even tho I suspected the correct person from the get-go. Love that the main protagonist is blind yet a composer for giallo films. I’d like to know the film that they show him working on (it’s a clip of a nude woman being stabbed). Also wish the movie did more w/the black cat premise in the synopsis. This does feature one of the most brutal murders I’ve seen in a gialli so that’s saying something. Too bad this one has been given a decent home video treatment by Arrow or another genre distro.
