As I say it in the title, the movie is really nicely edited a put together. There is some interesting imagery and symbolism, but you quickly ask yourself what good is any of that if the story is boring as ever. The premise is interesting, yes. But it soon gets to you that you don't really care for any of the characters, that the main character is boring, dumb (in one chase scene she constantly screams, trips, screams like an idiot and in that way reveals her position) and not very lovable. Rest of the characters are also very generic, all up to to classic inspector which intuition and intelligence surpasses all members of his department combined. It is sad that it had to go this way, but I guess we should be glad we got a nice looking Fulci movie, if nothing else. "Don't Torture a Ducking" is a far better Fulci movie, along with "Psychic". One thing that is very good in this movie is Ennio Morricone's music, but that can't carry the whole movie. I give it 5.8/10. I didn't enjoy it, and for that reason, I can't recommend it to anyone. Sorry fans of Fulci's movies!
score 5/10
