You know it’s about to be a spectacular giallo when George Hilton shows up. That one sequence where the frame is like upside down and the camera tilts between the two speaking characters was just wow! That’s when I knew I was watching a masterpiece. Sergio Martino is the GOAT!

The Case of the Scorpion's Tail is an intricately crafted giallo by Sergio Martino, very Hitchcockian in nature and clearly borrowing from Psycho, particularly in the way the film is structured.

It features strong voyeuristic elements, abundant red herrings, violently perverse kills, stylish cinematography, and a top-tier performance by George Hilton. The film easily ranks alongside the director’s other works. The plot is especially commendable for its complexity and flow, making it one of the most entertaining gialli to "investigate" alongside the characters.
