Death Smiles On A Murderer [La morte ha sorriso all'assassino/ Death Smiled At Murder]


Struggles to function as its own story, but is particularly effective as a greatest hits of Italian cinema of the time featuring heavy handed gothic atmospheres, Klaus Kinski nonsensically swaggering about, spurious Poe references, a razor blade killing, special FX make-up that looks like whatever was closest to hand heaped onto faces, POV shots of a killer stalking victims that run slowly and finally all rounded off with some obligatory severe eyeball trauma.
