Tons of sex, censored gore (at least in the initial U.S. VHS cut -- an uncut version hit DVD) and zero story add up to a pretty dull Italian slasher film that attempt in vain to emulate the style of Dario Argento. This is from the director of "All the Colors of the Dark", "Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key" and "Slave of the Cannibal God."
Just to let us know how exploitative the pic is going to be, it opens with a nude woman being chased by a killer. Similar nude women are murdered by a hacksaw-wielding psychopath throughout the rest of the film, as secondary characters bumble about trying to figure out what the hell is going on. The killings themselves are for the most censored in the U.S. versions of this film, although uncut prints have been made available by some online video distributors.
Pretty weak stuff, although it does feature plenty of naked babes.
