Giallo are well known for spending disproportionate amounts of screen time on red herrings in order to hide the final reveal, but this one takes the piss. The cocaine smuggling ring uncovered by the police? Nothing to do with the killings. The blackmail network that is stumbled across? Nothing to do with the killings. The killer’s motivations when finally revealed? Nothing to do with the rest of the film. Even the main cast on the poster is a red herring with both Bach and Bouchet receiving minimal screen time before being dispatched. And the title? Nope, red herring, it turns out a wasp is more important here than tarantulas.
