where's the so-called sleaze?

I saw a black glove, I saw Italian names on the credit so what do we have, a giallo. I have seen a few but I can't understand why everybody says that this is a sleazy one. And why is everybody referring to the nudity especially the shower scene with all the school girls. There is nudity but i have seen more in other giallo's and even more explicit then here. There is indeed full frontal nudity but not that makes you go reach for the Kleenex. Even the ending was a bit dull for me. What was good was that you didn't have the typical dubbed sound effects like in so many Italian flicks. No exaggerated winds or footsteps. But it lacks also on the gore or blood for me. But I must say that I watched it on a bad copy with a very bad sound and washed out colors, maybe that's also a reason why I don't love it. But I'm used to watch old VHS sleaze. But for me it wasn't sleaze, just a giallo, no more no less
