User Reviews
GialloGuru – 7/10
“A great example of 70s giallo with a killer concept. The spa setting adds an eerie contrast, and the killer's method is genuinely creepy. Not the best in the genre, but definitely worth a watch for the atmosphere and some solid scares.”
SlasherFan77 – 5/10
“I wanted to like this more than I did. The mystery was interesting, but the pacing dragged in places, and the acting was a bit over the top. Some good kills, but overall it felt dated and not as engaging as other giallos I've seen.”
HorrorVixen – 8/10
“For me, this is an underrated gem. The tension builds beautifully, and the use of the paralyzing poison is so unsettling. The ending genuinely surprised me. I'd recommend it to anyone who appreciates slow-burn horror with a classic feel.”
NostalgiaNight – 6/10
“It's a decent time-waster with some stylish direction and a nice dose of 70s Italian flair. The killer's mask is iconic, and the autopsy scenes are graphic. But the plot gets convoluted, and some subplots go nowhere. Still, not bad for a rainy night.”
