It is such a lysergic collision of high art and low that its very outmodedness has now become a paradoxical part of its timeless appeal - and from such heady heights, the only way could be down for the slasher genre that Bava's film helped model.

The dummies here reflect a society's ruthless commoditization of the body and flesh.

It benefits, among other things, from Bava's refined aesthetics regarding framing, but, in general, as an empty exercise in giallo horror it wanders too much in narrative redundancies and one-dimensional characters. [Full review in Spanish]

...a disappointingly erratic misfire from a terminally lackluster filmmaker.
