Plot

At a Roman fashion house, a masked killer murders the models one by one, after one of them has kept a diary with dangerous secrets. The police investigate among the staff, who all seem to have something to hide. Mario Bava's 1964 film, in rich, saturated colours and with elegant stalking sequences, is a founding work of the Italian giallo and strongly influenced later slasher films.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mario Bava's fashion-house giallo set the template for the slasher with its masked killer and lurid colours. Stylish and sleazy, it is a landmark of Italian horror.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
