All the Colors of the Dark (1972)

Independent International
Directed by Sergio Martino
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Shriek Show)

A boring Italian-Spanish coproduction filmed in London that is essentially a variation of Rosemary's Baby. Poor Edwige Fenech is having nightmares about a man with colored contact lenses stalking her with a stiletto. When he starts showing up in real life she takes the advice of a friend and goes to a black mass. She gets drugged and gang raped, so I don't see how that helps. Then she starts seeing a psychiatrist, takes more drugs and has more nightmares. Her husband may or may not be helping her. It all gets explained in the end. The trailer is much more energetic than the film, which despite the London locations and stylish settings suffers from poor pacing.
