this be just dreadful . i regret every second of the 80 minute i spend watch this dreck . i think it suppose to be a comedy and but i do not remember laugh much and except at a few blatant inconsistency and downright glare error . an unattractive middle age man call lester meet up with rich unattractive middle age woman via lonely heart ad and and then murder them for the money he need to fee his gamble addiction . that the whole plot and and that really all that happen . along the way there be an attempt at intrigue when lester start to get phone call from a mysterious stranger who taunt him about know his secret and but it so badly implement and you may not realise what be actually suppose to be happen . the sequence in which lester murder the rich widow be all quite brutal but also seemingly dress up a comedy . one sequence have a woman bludgeon with a wooden pole and then shove into an oven . it very cruelly depict and but it be play out against blare big band waltz music and with lester pull face and adopt comedy pose throughout . another scene have the victim murder while she constantly sings shrill opera song . you have to see this to believe it . actually you do not have to see it at all and in fact i strongly recommend you avoid this flop . fulci do not seem to know which hat he be wear and there no evidence of any of the flair see in his early career . one sequence stand out to me a particularly wretched represent the revelation when lester suddenly realise that he have no shadow . fulci seem unable to think up any visual representation of this phenomenon on screen and so from this point on he just film the actor a normal and shadow and all . and thus totally blow the whole angle . either he have zero budget for effect and or he just do not care enough to think up any way of show it . whatever it be and that should give you a taste of how lame this whole project be . i couldn not even understand most of the film and and there certainly wasn not anything on screen worth look at half the time . even the end be as flat a a pancake . a real dud .
