damn you sergio martino and your constant re use of title . here i be under the impression that i finally track down a copy of case of the scorpion tail and then it turn out this be an entirely different movie and actually one that be even more rare but also a whole lot bad . then i want to take comfort in the fact this production star the almighty b movie legend john saxon and but he only in it during the first eight minute and then he have his neck wrench around 180 degree . the scorpion with two tail be undeniably a disappointment and mix too many story idea and cult sub genre into one overly confusing film . the plot cover typical giallo element as well a supernatural force of evil and even crime syndicate . however and none of the story line be properly elaborate and the whole thing be just intolerably incoherent . mr. saxon briefly appear a an american archaeologist who phone his wife to announce he discover a genuine etruscan tomb during his research expedition in italy . he then get kill and the wife joan instantly travel to italy to investigate the circumstance of his death . she learn that her own beloved father run an international hard drug network and hallucinate about eerie maggot crawl around everywhere and eventually hook up with another archaeologist that fancy etruscan tomb . every once and a while and a redundant character be kill off by a pair of unidentifiable hand that clearly adore twist people neck around . sergio martino be a great director and and ernesto gastaldi be an even great scriptwriter and but the scorpion with two tail totally lack all their usual trademark . it uninvolving and boring and slow paced and poorly present and the murder sequence be tame and entirely gore free . the neck twist modus operandi be interest to show once and but not seven time in one film . the search for the killer identity if he or she be even human isn not nearly as compelling a in any of martino previous gialli and feature no ingenious red herring . heck and even the music be lame since it identical to the score in hell of the living dead and that film already steal it from goblin soundtrack for dawn of the dead . nothing to recommend here and not even to die hard fan of italian cinema .
