An American writer (Tony Musante) traveling in Rome is the only witness to an attempted murder by a sinister man in a raincoat and black leather gloves, though he is powerless to do anything to stop him. With a feeling that something is not quite right about the scene he has witnessed and the police's inability to make any progress, he launches his own personal investigation -- and nearly loses his life in the process. While this modern day Jack-the-Ripper type is slithering through the dark byways of Rome slicing up pretty girls, director Dario Argento is carving up the emotions of terrified viewers.

Os thrillers de Giallo são sobre composição visual, seleção cuidadosa e conclusão de locais específicos e, acima de tudo, sobre atmosfera, para a qual estes dois aspetos são as pedras fundamentais. Hoje em dia, o ponto de partida tende a ser pouco excitante e por vezes até ingénuo. Este filme de Argento também não choca no final, mas é incomparável no seu design de produção e câmara - para Argento, as cores dos interiores são como outra personagem do filme. «Screaming queens» bonitas, o personagem bizarro de Mario Adorf como um artista outsider - um maluco que come carne de gato; e outro personagem memorável, um repulsivo assassino de camisa amarela que perseguirá os seus sonhos. A sua cena no estacionamento dos autocarros, hipnoticamente e perturbadoramente editada, é a mais suspensa do filme. Para mim, é certamente um giallo melhor do que o outro famoso êxito de Argento, O Mistério da Casa Assombrada.

It’s interesting to see how some people can have an intense horror experience with so little: a couple of murdered women, about four drops of blood, a killer in a black cape and a famous name behind the camera. In his horror début, Argento makes the same mistakes he would continue making later on. This means that the technical qualities are fist-rate, there are some nice scenes here and there and the atmosphere is also good at times, but the actors feel as natural as I in a Hip-Hop concert. And I’m not even talking about the “shocking” (ha, ha) ending, which is awfully acted and directed, lacking any tension and with a script that it’s worth shit.

Visually it’s very beautiful, but the story and the twist are so stupid. Argento had a flair for composition, but his scripts – with rare exceptions – are rubbish.

If it weren't for Argento's garish visual style, his debut would have been a completely average (maybe even slightly below average) murder mystery. I can't help but feel that the acting is simply flat, and the overall impression is saved mostly by the masterful performances of Ennio Morricone and Vittorio Storaro. Still, if I turn a blind eye, it's quite decent as a directorial debut. [60%]
