This is Dario Argento's first film, and one of the most influential gialli. This film is just like "Tenebrae" or "Opera," in that there's a serial killer and everyone's hunting him while he's killing people one by one. How it's different is that the story is less original and the killings are less graphic, so in by opinion it's not as good. You can see that this film majorly influenced the films of Sergio Martino. The twist at the end is a staple in gialli, and it got me good. A fine first film and a taste of what's to come.
