Directed by Luigi Bazzoni, written by David McDonald Devine, Luigi Bazzoni and Mario Fanelli, produced by Manolo Bolognini.
Average viewer score of 6.6/10 from 75 ratings.
Very average mystery-horror giallo film that at least stars Franco Nero who I liked here, but otherwise nothing all that good despite some nice cinematography. Not a complete waste of time but I lost interest by the end. **2.5/5**
