About
If you enjoy lurid early-’70s Italian thrillers with gothic mood, sex, and murder-mystery intrigue, this may appeal, especially if you liked Torso or Tenebrae; Not for you if you want sympathetic characters or a tight, fast-moving plot.
Pros: brooding atmosphere; creepy black cat presence; sleazy mystery setup | Cons: messy story; unlikable characters; slow stretches
