Watch Me When I Kill
Synopsis: Antonio Bido, the man who won understandable cult acclaim with his stylish stalker-thriller
The Bloodstained Shadow (1978), helmed one of the defining giallo shockers in 1977's nightmarish
Watch Me When I Kill. For fans of yellow-peril, golden age, Italian black-gloved killer mayhem, it does not get any better than this suspenseful murder-mystery which follows an animalistic, knife-happy maniac as he cuts and drowns his victims to prohibit a historic secret emerging. Exactly why the dead bodies are piling up confuses the authorities - but the reasoning behind this sudden slash 'em up activity proves both jarring and jaggedly horrible. And look out for an appearance from legendary Italian genre veteran Paolo Malco (
The House by the Cemetery) and a sizzling soundtrack from art prog-rockers Trans-Europe Express. Starring Franco Citti, Fernando Cerulli, Giuseppe Addobbati, Gianfranco Bullo, Jill Pratt, and Corrado Pani. Cinematography by Mario Vulpiani (Marco Ferreri's
La Grande Bouffe,
Dillinger Is Dead).
