Submission of a Woman was directed and written by Alessandro Lucidi, who directed two comedies, La maestra di sci and Il marito in vacanza but mostly was an editor. He's the son of Maurizio Lucidi (It Can Be Done, Amigo; The Designated Victim).
Luisa (Daniela Poggi. The Gestapo's Last Orgy) is an actress who wants to move past the sexual roles she keeps getting hired for and instead spend more time with her husband Giorgio (Gianluca Favilla) and their child Francesca. She's also getting calls from someone (Paolo Lorimer) who has already killed one woman and has selected Luisa for his second victim. Then, the killer attacks, easily stopping her husband before she locks herself and her baby inside the home, a place where the man who wants her dead has already cut the phone line.
This movie starts by stealing the vampire beginning of Body Double and then has a theme song that songs like "Laura's Theme" from Twin Peaks. But for some reason, I stuck with this and while rape revenge is one of my least favorite genres, this ends up being watchable. That's more than you can say for a lot of gialli made in the 90s.
