Lucio Fulci's drugged out, sex, 60's gambol. Carol Hammond (Florinda Bolkan) has dreams of herself and another woman who turns out to be murdered neighbor Julia Durer (Anita Strindberg). The movie throws in a few red herrings including Carol's husband's roaming eye, her father's personal dealings, a prying sister-in-law and Carol's possibly promiscuous friend. As with most Giallos, style overcomes logic and anything else in our current dimension. Since this reviewer has now gone mad, the end of the film entirely and completely made sense in its warped way and kept my attention throughout! Shriek Show's two disc edition comes in dubbed English and dubbed Italian. This edition also pissed off a lot of collectors by featuring the longer (dubbed Italian) cut as an "extra" presented in a abysmal full screen print. Some of which was corrected by Shriek Show's "Remastered" edition. Both are now out of print but are still available via Netflix.
