Viewing Notes
This was my guess for the ninth movie of the TRR Halloween Marathon. Figured I’d watch it now since it was incorrect but was still intrigued by a modern giallo. This is fine but so dark at times it’s difficult to see what it happening. A contrast from giallo of old where kills took place in a brightly lit room or area. Some of the kills here are p gnarly so it would be nice to see them. Reminded me a little of WAX MASK which I should revisit for this month.
I like the professional by day / sex club by night premise. The reasons for the murdering seem rather flimsy but whatever. I’ve seen worse. If this had some kind of release I’d add it to the collection.
The protagonist is the woman who portrays Gianna D’Antonio in John Wick 2. Didn’t make that connection during the movie but very cool.
