I saw this film for the first time last night. The trailers particularly looked very interesting, but sadly I didn't get the same feeling from the movie that I got from the trailers.
Some people have said it is hard to guess the killer - not true. I guessed who it was almost immediately, and even at the end when you are thrown another herring I still knew who it was.
The acting was bad. Really bad in some parts, particularly what is meant to be the climax of the movie. I felt like changing the channel just so I didn't have to endure it. It also annoyed me that it was dubbed, and you could see the actors speaking English underneath it. I'm not a big fan of dubbing, and for me it detracted something from the movie, especially when I could have just pressed mute and read their lips and still followed.
Despite this, it was still an okay film. My first Italian horror/thriller/mystery, and I enjoyed it probably for that reason alone. I found the opening scenes to be strong, but sadly the same mood wasn't kept throughout the rest of the film. It may have helped if the 'hero' didn't seem so uninterested the whole time.
Overall, predictable and badly acted, but still worth at least one viewing. I don't know about a second though.
