Not so much a giallo as it is a ridiculously slow-paced police procedural with George Hilton sporting an equally ridiculous mustache. There's one decent kill with a buzzsaw, other than that the movie kind of lulled me to sleep. Ennio Morricone delivers a great soundtrack with a haunting, child-like melody a la "Rosemary's Baby," but there are far too many movies where a Morricone score is the only saving grace.
