The Black Belly of the Tarantula

“With needles dipped in deadly venom the victims are paralyzed - so they must lie awake and watch themselves die!”

Inspector Tellini (Giancarlo Giannini) wants the killer found before another woman is left on a table with her belly cut open. Each victim is paralyzed first, fully awake while the knife goes in, and the trail runs through the people around Maria Zani (Barbara Bouchet) and Franca Valentino (Rossella Falk). Paolo Cavara directs, and Tellini keeps pushing forward with his own wife Laura (Claudine Auger) waiting at home.
