DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT 1972 (ARROW) BLU-RAY

A well made Italian Gialli, but somewhat disappointing as well.

Neives Navarro stars as a beautiful model named Valentina. She agrees to do a photo shoot under the influence of a new, esperimental drug.

During the shoot she sees the murder of a woman in another apartment at the hands of a killer wearing a spiked glove and it is a gruesome murder indeed.

Of course nobody believes her and so Valentina sets out to solve the murder herself. This causes more problems as she soon finds herself stalked by the same killer.

The film takes a wild turn when we discover that her boyfriend is actually behind the killings for another reason. He is a drug smuggler and it's a shock to the viewer to see the killer that was stalking Valentine has been killed by two crazy friends of her boyfriend.

There are plenty of twists and turns, but sometimes the film really drags, and that is a shame because you get really involved, and then it falls flat until the great climax which is violent and bloody.

Navarro makes a very beautiful leading lady and she does an excellent job. If you like Gialli films you'll probably like this and that's cool, but as I said, I was a little disappointed. Still, a good entry in the genre.
