One of the final links between the Edgar Wallace-based German krimi genre and the Italian giallo thriller, this creepy mystery stars Fabio Testi as a college professor who sleeps with his students and is blamed when a string of murders occurs. Joachim Fuchsberger, as usual, is the police inspector trying to solve the killings; Camille Keaton, Buster Keaton's grand-niece and later the star of Meir Zarchi's I Spit on Your Grave (1980) has a supporting role; cameraman Aristide Massaccesi, later infamous as gore director "Joe D'Amato," turns up as a cop. Massimo Dallamano's direction is assured. This first-rate thriller was based on Wallace's Secret of the Green Pin. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

This is a Tarantino Fest favorite, and it's easy to see this being influential to him. This is a gem; a very unpredictable, and well-acted giallo. The score by the maestro Ennio Morricone hits the spot. The nudity of the schoolgirls is a little over indulgent, but I'm not complaining. The dubbing detracts from the film, which makes it seem cheesy at times, but nevertheless this is probably my favorite giallo so far.

This is one of the most assured giallos I have seen. It has all the necessary elements, and could very well be the shining example of why the genre is accused of explicit misogyny, but there's more going on here. In fact, this giallo is characterized by a certain sophistication not found in others. In light of that, it's not as hokey and light-hearted as most giallos either. If I had to compare it's tone to more famous films within the genre I'd say it falls somewhere between 'House With Laughing Windows' and 'Don't Torture a Duckling'. Those two films also share similar themes.

Cheesy plot with total predictability. Filming was attempted artsy, came out as out of focus and shakey.
