About
You’ll probably like this if you enjoy twisty giallo murder mysteries with heavy gore and a suspenseful, stylish tone; Not for you if you want a clean, subtle thriller—try The Bird with the Crystal Plumage or Deep Red instead.
Pros: stylish giallo mystery; memorable kills; keeps guessing | Cons: gory may be much; some slow spots; mixed reception
