DAGGER EYES 1983 (TUBI)

Solid and entertaining Italian Giallo.

Drop dead Gorgeous Carole Bouquet stars as a prostitute named Mystere who is hired along with a friend of hers to engage in a threesome with a very rich German man.

This man we recognize as a photographer who took pictures of an assassin at the beginning of the movie. Mystere's friend Pamela steals a solid gold lighter from the man and hides it in Mystere's purse.

After the women leave a man whose face we don't see comes to visit and kills the German because he lost his lighter which contained the negatives. The assassins begin stalking and killing anyone who has come in contact with the lighter and this sets the tone for the entire movie.

Mystere goes to the police after her life is almost taken by a would be killer and she forms an uneasy alliance with Inspector Colt (Phil Coccioletti).

I won't give too much away, but there are a lot of interesting twists and turns in this well developed film. I don't understand why this movie isn't better known amongst fans, but I do very highly recommend it.

I don't think this is available on Disc here in the US, or anywhere else for that matter. Don't miss this one.
