My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Blue Underground)
Labyrinthine giallo with a police detective trying to find the person killing beautiful girls in Rome. The killer paralyzes his victims by placing an acupuncture needle in the base of the back of their neck, then finishes them off with a knife, apparently inspired by a wasp that kills tarantulas in a similar manner. Most of the film, though, is an endless parade of suspects, all leading to dead ends, and the boring love life of the detective. Even when the killer's identity was revealed, I did not recognize him. Obviously inspired by Antonioni's Blow-Up, including a photo which is enlarged many times over to reveal hidden clues, leading nowhere of course.
