<[:-} "what do you see when you turn out the lights?"
like all the other italian "giallos," this movie seemed to me like someone had tried to film as many startling images as they could imagine, spliced enough of them together at random to make feature length, and then had someone attach an incredibly convoluted, utterly implausible plot at the end with a narrative exposition that sounds exactly like a soap opera addict trying to condense a year's worth of episodes into two minutes. at least this copy is a good transfer on dvd, so that it really does have strong visual impact, infinitely superior to the dark, smeary vhs stuff. a satanic ritual sub-plot provides more image fodder than usual, and i didn't feel cheated by the description "stylish psychedelic slasher film" that encouraged me to try it. it doesn't hurt that sergio "torso" martino has a real talent for getting beautiful women to appear on film naked. the always tasty edwige fenech plays the heroine with a damaged fragility that compels real sympathy even as your brain howls with pained laughter at the surrounding movie.
