SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

GL84 After a gruesome murder, a police investigator looking into the incident finds a connection with the victim and an unresolved child abduction case in the past and races to solve the connection of the cases before more victims wind up dead by the killer.This here was quite the enjoyable giallo with a lot to like about it. A lot of this is due to the film's incredibly gripping central mystery at play here, which manages to come off incredibly well with the way this one makes for a wholly enjoyable storyline. What initially appears as a simple murder at first leads into a supposedly-unsolved abduction case from the past that creeps back into focus here that's quite logically worked into the main story and forces him to bring that one to light as well. That this here is a pretty entertaining and engrossing mystery comes off as a big plus for the film for it manages to make for a wholly more enjoyable time here with two such mysteries at first that need solving, and it's worked through in quite a logical manner with a nice assortment of clues that get worked over here as the scenes of him attempting to unravel everything with the help of the inspectors and later his girlfriend which enables him to find the last remaining piece in the puzzle needed. By the manner of which he manages to reason and uncover clues, he comes off as one of the more competent representatives of the law that one will find in the genre and proves to be a capable nemesis for the elusive which is fortunate since the bulk of the film is devoted to this investigation. Alongside this fun factor, there's plenty to like with the actual slashing and stalking that's put into play here, which has plenty to like about this one. The opening attack with the digger is a stand-out, the different stalking scenes against the two women early on are rather fun with the big scene involving the murder of the teacher in her house after a meeting with the killer and then uses a hand-held circular saw in a really messy sequence and the thrilling sequence at the old woman's house is a fine stalking scene as well, all giving this some rather enjoyable giallo sequences to match the investigations. There's a few minor flaws here, which starts with its peculiarly odd pacing. This one isn't as fast paced as many other films in this style, as instead of allowing for some pleasingly intricate mysteries to mature and unfold it's just a little too laid back for it's own good. There isn't enough dramatic contrast in the film for it to truly engage despite the solidly- laid-out mystery there's very small spurts of action to carry it along. The other small problem with the film is that it simply ends much too abruptly once the identity of the killer has been revealed, which seems to get announced just seconds before it ends rather than having a little more time to process everything that happens so quickly. Otherwise this one here manages to be one of the better second-tier efforts in the genre.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language, Nudity and a brief sex scene.

BA_Harrison While investigating the gruesome murder of an insurance adjuster, Inspector Luca Peretti (George Hilton) begins to unravel the unsolved kidnapping and murder of a young girl. Meanwhile, a killer proceeds to bump off anyone who might be able to help Luca with vital clues.My Dear Killer opens with a hilarious decapitation scene, the victim grabbed by the scoop of a mechanical dredger and hoisted into the air, his head popping off as a result. It's a hugely entertaining way to start proceedings, but then the plot kicks in and things start to drag. Numerous shifty characters and an overly complex storyline make My Dear Killer more of a chore than many a giallo; consequently, boredom and confusion are never far away, lurking in the shadows ready to pounce on the unwary viewer.Director Tonino Valerii attempts to compensate for his over-elaborate narrative by incorporating a slew of classic giallo trappings and just a little exploitative content: a gloved killer, haunting music (by Ennio Morricone), children's drawings, numerous mean-spirited deaths and a smattering of topless nudity from a couple of babes, plus one gratuitous and rather controversial shot guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows. The result is still a bit of a hard slog, but at least there are a few moments that should please die-hard fans of the genre.

Rindiana By-the-numbers giallo with a stronger grip on investigative methods and less on lurid moments than what we're used to in this sub-genre, though the comparatively coherent storyline and some effective set-pieces cannot save this unremarkable pic from sinking.The sleazy and/or freaked-out characters are as randomly portrayed as ever, so that the culprit's identity leaves one rather cold, despite a nicely handled denouement.And a short scene with a nude young girl just underlines the movie's ruthlessly exploitative nature.3 out of 10 telltale drawings

pistollero77 Look, it was a pretty good whodunit movie, but the translation, horrible,(who brings in a ballistics team for a HANGING???) and the gore was less than gore. It was unconvincing and pedestrian. Hershel Gordon Lewis has better gore, and of course less plot, but whatever. This movie had a good plot, I mean, the screenwriter actually had an idea, but to call this a gore movie, or to even say that the buzzsaw scene was good is a LARGE overcompensation. It was a dull blade in a drill with red fake blood on it. It doesn't cut her, it sprays paint on her. The killer even DROPS the drill and the blade HIT HIS LEG! If it was even sharp in the filming it would've cut through his pants! Jesus.....OK, I'm done ranting.
