I love gialli, but this one's too telegraphed, too tame, and simply takes too long to unspool the film's central mystery—Merenda's amnesia and what it has to do with everyone wanting him dead ... I do always enjoy watching Bruno Corazzari, though, and his sniffling criminal had me thinking more than once of the asthmatic hitman in *Afraid to Die*. (And points I guess for the almost comical use of the chainsaw...)
