Again, I really did like the music in this and the opening credits scene evokes a very hypnotizing mood. Decent film overall I suppose. I'd be interested in reading what anyone here thinks of it, if they've seen it.

I find it quite boring, to be honest. It has all the classic Bava ingredients but doesn't really hold together as a complete movie - which is itself arguably a key ingredient in a lot of Bava's Gialli. So while he's become largely synonymous with that genre and has mainly built his reputation on them, it's the stuff in other genres that I tend to be more into: stuff like Black Sunday, Lisa and the Devil, Danger: Diabolik, Rabid Dogs and the Doctor Goldfoot movies. I suppose that's about as perverse as someone saying they're a big Woody Allen fan but tend not to like his comedies.
