The Monster of Venice (1965)


Directed by Dino Tavella
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

A serial killer stalks Venice in scuba gear, snatching young girls and taking them to his underwater lair where embalms them and puts them on display (it was released in America as "The Embalmer"). A group of visiting teenage tourists provides fodder for the killer, but a reporter who is following them gets in his way. Ridiculous early entry in the giallo genre, totally lacking in suspense, or sense. It has more in common with low budget Roger Corman efforts from the 1950s.
