    Capturing all of the debauchery of the drug soaked late 60's into a wonderful murder mystery including some trippy dream sequences, an excellent Ennio Morricone score, a strong sense of suspense, an odd assortment of characters, a strong ending, and it even manages to throw in so...( read more)me Hitchcock references without letting them take over the movie.

    The film also takes its sweet time establishing the outline of its central puzzle and where the various characters fit into it. Fortunately that puzzle happens to be a good, engaging mystery. Despite a relatively small ring of suspects, guessing as to "whodunit" will have to be reevaluated with each new twist in the plot.

    The dog scene is pretty nasty, but this is a fairly normal giallo film from the usually over the top Fulci. A psychadelic murder mystery that's fun for everyone.

    Sapphic murder mystery. Setting is "hippie". Acting is British. Film is Italian. Several good twists. Took me awhile to manage interest, but I saw it through. Worth at least one viewing.

    Decent, but dated, mystery / suspense film by Fulci.

    Beautifully realized dream sequences, vicious murders and all the usual elements of the typical Giallo make this a great film.

    A perfect place to start for anyone wanting to try out the genre, though it was a little restrained compared to director Fulci's later excesses.
