Umberto Lenzi directed a handful of Gialli. Some were great, some were terrible. This is one of the better ones.
Recommedation: Must-See

Umberto Lenzi's final Giallo, released at the beginning of the genre's decline, is predictable trashy fun with a great soundrack by Nicolai.
Recommedation: Entertaining
Nothing ground breaking here, but a fun time nonetheless.

Lenzi's sixth Giallo staring Carol Baker is an entertaining whodunit with gorgeous locations, a memorable soundtrack and a nice surprise ending.

Lenzi's thrid installment in his "sexy thriller" trilogy is his best yet with the inclusion of Jean Sorel and a story full of twists and turns.

Lenzi's follow up to Orgasmo/Paranoia and the 2nd in his "sexy thriller" series has a few inspiring moments but is generally boring and forgettable.
Recommedation: For Completists Only
As long as you've seen eveything else, this is worth a look.

Lenzi's fourth "sexy thriller" is a bit uneven and lacks likable characters but has enough redeeming qualities to be worth a look.
