A young professor goes to stay with his brother who is a priest and murders start to occur following on from the previous murder of a schoolgirl many years before. Not quite a full blooded giallo but the narrative is clear and all loose ends are tied up satisfactorily.
The acting is decent. The two best things are the lovely location photography in Murano, Venice (some shots could be framed as paintings) and another fine music score from the prolific Stelvio Cipriani.
It is however too long and could have been cut by 20 minutes at least. Too much time is given to the romance between Sanda and Stefano. Shots of them walking the streets are pretty but just hold the film up needlessly. Not in the Argento league but not bad.
