    Dario Argento's debut is stylish slasher story, paving the way for his future works. Macabre and modernist, Argento composes each shot with precision, creating kaleidoscopic visions of lesions and lashings.

    Simultaneously sick and beautiful, the film has an element of masochism, blurring the lines between art and visceral experience.

    Argento births his incredible eye in this film while telling an enticing plot about murder, obsession and the list to kill.
