First off, I'll give this movie 7 out of 10 stars. So I did think that it was pretty good. But what's with the title? I see here that it's listed under its Italian title. Is the English title an exact translation? If it is, could someone explain the meaning relative to this movie?
All that out of the way, I'll admit that I was surprised by the quality of this film. It's the third Fulci movie that I've seen (Zombie and The New York Ripper are the others--Quack! Quack!) and I hadn't been overly impressed with the first two. But this one had a few scenes that I found particularly powerful (especially the beating of the woman in the graveyard). The performances were good as was the plot (although I was put off by the woman who was so bored that she came on sexually to every young boy who crossed her path). But, overall, a pretty suspenseful and satisfying murder mystery.
