SYNOPSIS
After finding out that his wife is secrectly seeing someone else, Nicola storms out of the family home. His wife decides to have a shower to cool off and is hacked to death by an unseen assailant. Inspector Pierro Terzi is brought in to handle the case and it seems the crime is an open and shut case - a crime of passion. A psychologist (Valeria D'Obici) is brought in to evaluate the case and she thinks there's more to it.

NOTES
This movie could be so much better, but is plagued by the same thing that most 80's entries to the genre were suffering from, after the giallo boom of the 70's was just a memory: distinct lack of funding. The movie has a TV movie feel to it, but Lamberto Bava is talented enough to make the best use of the little money he had.

This is one of the best 80's gialli I've seen so far excluding Lamberto Bava's second mentor's Dario Argento's movies and perhaps Lucio Fulci's New York Ripper. It's not a classic, but still a good genre movie. It's a murder-mystery, which borrows from Argento's animal trilogy, that runs like a suspense thriller right to the finale.

Unlike many of the late gialli, the movie contains no nudity and is rather tame in the gore department. The focus is on the murder-mystery and suspense rather than sleaziness or overall weirdness.

Lamberto Bava and his cinematographer Gianlorenzo Battaglia create some memorable scenes. The music score by Claudio Simonetti (of Goblin fame) combining classical music with synthesizers is a bit dated, but works well nonetheless. Claudio Simonetti has made some pretty bad soundtracks, but this is definitely not one of them. Overall, a good movie for all the genre enthusiastics to watch.

Ripped by me from an X-Rated Kult DVD. The subs (.srt) were OCR'ed and partially fixed by me. zZeta rewrote most of them based on the Italian audio track and fixed the timings so kudos to him! I suggest using them to watch the movie. The .idx/.sub formatted subtitles are the original ones from the DVD and they're obviously made from the German language version. If you feel like the movie needs a comedy side, try watching it with them. Engrish is what you get.
