This film is not only remarkable for its over long title, but mainly because it's a good example for a typical, chilling giallo of the 1970s. The film delivers all one might expect from it, including the good looking young women that fall victim to the mysterious killer, creepy set pieces where well known surroundings become uncanny, and the big surprise when the killer is finally uncovered. The murder scenes are quite gory and sadistic and also very typical for the giallo of that decade. In one stunning scene, the killer is particularly cold blooded: he kills one of his hapless victims in broad daylight on a lively street in the middle of the city - and gets away with it unnoticed! All in all not quite a masterpiece, but chilling entertainment full of suspense and easily 7 out of 10.
