Almost always the same story with Fulci. Good idea, bad execution. Movie actually resembles a real movie, so that's not the problem. But often bad acting, weird choice of music (movie actually has some cool music, but then out of nowhere jazz sections are inserted and they don't fit at all) and almost complete lack of tension or scares outside some screaming really make this a boring movie with no real redeeming qualities. It is said that Fulci ended up with a half of promised money he was supposed to get for making the movie, so that might explain the result, but that doesn't change the fact movie is just not good. There isn't even a lot of violence, which is weird for Fulci, and movie also lacks any kind of nudity, which is also strange. All in all, I recommend it only to Fulci fans. Other horror movie veterans or casuals can safely avoid this one.
