Grandissimo film, molto intrigante, un finale inaspettato ed un capolavoro del cinema giallo italiano. Recuperatelo, perchè la tensione rimane costantemente alta ed è tra i migliori del maestro.

Argento starts off his career with this interesting film that is very much giallo. The thriller which does have a bit of horror in it is very entertaining. Even when it slows down it’s still interesting where the film goes and how all of the things we who love Argento are on display for the first time. The story is comes together in the film moments where we follow this crazy journey to get to the end. I wasn’t sure what to expect only seeing two Argento films before this but I did enjoy this more than I expected.

TBWTCP starts with Sam, an American in Italy, who witnesses an attempted murder: a man in black stabs a woman in the stomach, then runs off, leaving her for dead. The cops arrive, Sam is questioned, and the woman i More
