Trivia
For its original release in America the distributors disliked Bava's opening credits that showed the cast posed around the salon in a series of creative tracking shots. The distributors had new opening credits made that showed a series of macabre animations of mannequins being shot. See more »Quotes
Inspector Silvester: Perhaps the sight of beauty makes him lose control of himself, so he kills.See more »
This was undeniably a major influence on the Gaillo style of film and probably also on the later "body count" serial killer films.
In this film, a serial killer wearing a hose mask kills women brutally and viciously. The film sets up many likely candidates and well keeps one guessing and guessing. Great stuff!
Bava's color visuals also stand out and apart as usual. This is simply gorgeous to view.
