A joy as much as it is a chore. Stunning in its ability to float about amusingly. Revolting in how little it accomplishes. Giallo influences however do not make a giallo. I doubt that was their intent but one feels a bit let down and wondering why if it had no intention of following through with his references. On its own, functional.

Two french hacks try to make a giallo, the result? A complete failure, like a bad student film trying to remake Suspiria.

atmospheric piece of sensual cinema. sometimes a bit repetitive, maybe, but worth the time nevertheless, if only for its original approach and the love for cinema it shows
