Starring Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, Daria Nicolodi
Dario Argento raises the giallo genre to new heights with this darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder mystery, widely considered one of his finest works. American mystery author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa) comes to Italy to promote his newest novel. Unfortunately, a razor-wielding serial killer is on the loose, taunting Neal and murdering those around him in gruesome fashion just like the character in his book. As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion. Former Goblin members Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, and Massimo Morante contributed the incredible synth score.
