(1971)Directed by Luigi Bazzoni93 minMystery, Thriller, Horror

It is 1971 in Italy, and a string of attacks has started to close in on the circle around Andrea Bild (Franco Nero), a journalist. He begins following the killer himself, while a police inspector (Wolfgang Preiss) starts looking at Andrea as a suspect. Luigi Bazzoni films the investigation in a flat, grainy light that keeps everyone in frame slightly out of focus.
