A psychopath is picking up beautiful young models in his taxi cab on the streets of Turin, Italy. He drugs them, tortures them and usually kills them. Police detective Adrien Brody and the sister of the latest victim make an unlikely team. Brody is quiet, reserved, with his own shocking past, while the sister is determined, in fact she makes the breakthrough in the case. The plot, such as it is, borrows heavily from the "torture porn" genre, with disgusting, explicit scenes of body parts being cut, clipped or torn at an alarming rate. More tension and less blood would have made it a better film, rather than a forgettable horror retread in the genre which director Argento has become a follower, rather than a leader.
