However, things have changed in time. American International released this Mario Bava film in the USA and the posters said it had something to do with the supernatural, it does not.
This is a murder mystery that is often considered the first Italian "giallo: film. A beautiful American woman played by Leticia Roman come to Rome for a holiday and finds herself mixed up in a murder.
She witnesses a woman being stabbed and is then spotted by the killer who doesn't get a chance to kill her. However, she knows he will be looking for her. She meets an Italian doctor named Marcello Bass (John Saxon) and they both investigate what is happening.
There are a few twists and turns of course, and the film really held my interest. Roman looks great as she always did in movies and she plays well off of Saxon.
Of course with Bava directing there is a lot of great photography and set pieces. This movie has had somewhat of a bad rap, but I suggest you check it out. It's quite good.
