This has been a DVD holy grail for me for a very long time. It was pretty much the first giallo I ever saw 15 or 16 years ago but I hadn't seen it since. Finally picked up the European DVD and watched it last night. The DVDs a bit gash but it's OAR at least and sounds okay.
Films as great as I remember it. By far the best of the Lenzi/Baker films. It disappointingly doesn't turn out to be the slasher that a fantastic "walking around in the dark, with doors blowing open in the wind" scene suggests it will be but instead it becomes a wierd home invasion movie with the standard Giallo twists.
The film seems to mostly be there though to show off two things:
1. How amazing Baker looks in a night dress. I swear every time they cut she's wearing a different one. It's like a catalogue for night wear- personally I like the loose crochet, see through, black one myself.
2. J&B. It is everywhere and Baker sure knows how to pour a glass of whisky. Often throughout the film she fills a highball glass half full, hands it to a guest, who promptly drains it and everyone carries on like this is normal behaviour rather than falling over and impalling themselves on some of Bakers many objet d'arts.
Super funky little flick. Like I said the DVDs not great but it's not terrible either. It should not get in the way of your viewing pleasure at all. Give it a crack.
