Style over substance, 3 July 2004
8/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Hey now, I don't mind style over subject so much when it comes to certain movies, and not minding that is almost a necessity when it comes to Italian thrillers & horror movies, anyway. This is not an exception in that area. The colors are vivid, it has groovy jazzy Italian pop muzak, it has beautiful (by 1970 standards, anyway) women, groovy clothing styles, and well, not a bunch of plot. It takes place on an isolated island in a big fancy house (with the usual weird Italian furnishings including spinning round beds) and it somehow involves some scientist that is refusing to sell his secrets to the rest of the men on the island that want to give him millions for them. All of a sudden, folks start turning up deceased, and end up in the freezer. I actually had a hard time following who was who, who was WITH who, and who was dead and who wasn't. But it didn't prevent me from still enjoying the ride. It even has somewhat of a twist ending, although it may have been a tad far-fetched. So after reading this, if you're not a fan of Italian movies, you'll probably NOT want to watch it, but that's your loss, I reckon. It's a relatively creepy movie with good atmosphere and that makes up for minimal plot and and the usual nonsensical Italian stuff. At least in MY mind.
