Commentary
ⅈⅉ Familiar actress in the beginning I can’t place yet:
Franca Stoppi
ⅈⅉ Okay I’m realizing I have seen this before but at this point I’m intrigued and going to continue
ⅈⅉ Vintage Italian horror is so excellent, giallo adjacent as described by the first Google result
ⅈⅉ This hot taxidermy narcissist, Frank, is so cruel to his housekeeper, and if memory serves she’s gonna get his ass back
ⅈⅉ The main character, aka Italian Lukas Gage, just barely saw this woman before she succumbed to her injuries which (possibly viewer error) were never described?
ⅈⅉ Oh yeah there’s definitely an inappropriate sexual component to the relationship between his housekeeper, Iris, and Frank and now he’s on her boobs but I clocked it before
ⅈⅉ He’s going to taxidermy the most dangerous animal, human (à la The Game)
ⅈⅉ so probably much like last time I got off track on my phone because the soundtrack is so good that I was still engaged enough not to pause
ⅈⅉ He’s robbed his girlfriend’s grave, things can only go wrong from here, and I’ll tell you who’s not gonna like that is Iris
ⅈⅉ This is just a real funky place to go with it, is he gonna try and revive her brain or give her life or just taxidermy?
ⅈⅉ Worst time to get a flat is when you’re transporting a body, triple A ad potential
ⅈⅉ And now imagine if the cops showed up, oh it was a non issue, and now a hitchhiker has hopped in the front seat of her own accord and offered premo weed but girl I’d keep your wits about you around this pale, sweaty, shell—shocked man
ⅈⅉ Incredible look the hitchhiker has, her hair and makeup are excellent
ⅈⅉ Oops my girlfriend is back there, thanks for the high five honey!
ⅈⅉ Leaving the hitchhiker asleep in the van in your garage where you’re about to taxidermy someone is just not sound judgment, I’m starting to think there’s something off about him
ⅈⅉ I guess she wasn’t embalmed, hmm, I know they did this for the gore effect but it takes me out from his taxidermist narrative
ⅈⅉ Okay full blown cannibal, he goes from sexual relationship with a mother figure complicated to necrophile complicated real quick!
ⅈⅉ They had these prop guys making slime decades before it became a commercial practice
ⅈⅉ Hitchhiker woke up, naturally, and is doing some potentially fatal snooping
ⅈⅉ Made one half assed attempt to escape, came back and attacked Frank, again half assed and now he’s pulling her fingernails off while some real funky jazz plays endlessly
ⅈⅉ Wild synth sting and cut to Iris who saw the whole mess in the garage and now is helping his dress Anna (his girlfriend whose name I had to look up)…far more sexually charged than necessary, church energy would have been preferable
ⅈⅉ So the bad vibes between Iris and Frank and mutual, you know what they deserve each other, ohp and gratuitous nudity of the hitchhiker before they um dispose? of her body. Quite gruesome and Iris seems to love it
ⅈⅉ Giant bottle of something corrosive in one of those classic Italian woven wine baskets is iconic
ⅈⅉ Some really foul cannibalism in Iris’ part, and I’m just talking about the way she was chewing, okay Iris kinda eats as a character actually
ⅈⅉ Anna looks like Emma Robert’s Blythe doll version of herself
ⅈⅉ With over 40 minutes left on the clock I’m really wondering what’s left to happen here, ohp and immediately answered: sex, disturbing Italian sex
ⅈⅉ Well here I thought he was remorseful but now he’s dragged this poor injured jogger into the mix, to what end? To what end? - Diana Ross
ⅈⅉ Threesome? Cuck situation? Full on illegal either way, ohp and he Dark Shadowsed the jogger
ⅈⅉ So either Frank or Iris killed his parents, I can only assume, and now he’s got a killing bug and I doubt it’s the first time the way they had 5 enormous fiascos of lye at the ready
ⅈⅉ Costume and cosmetics department stand up cause you’re getting a round of applause
ⅈⅉ I wish they’d just catch this rich punk my god, or at least blare the jazz in every scene again
ⅈⅉ Iris playing a little dress up, creepy synthesizer music ensued
ⅈⅉ Finally the cops are here, come get this rogue taxidermist murderer for Pete’s sake
ⅈⅉ Frank is so bad with the cops and they’re still not going to get him for another 25 minutes? Please!
ⅈⅉ I think I’d prefer if I could hear them speaking Italian, I could be more forgiving
ⅈⅉ A small taxidermy bribe goes a long way with the polizia
ⅈⅉ Iris is bold and that’s one way to get what you want fr
ⅈⅉ Got bored, got distracted, the music lulled me again and now I’m not entirely sure what’s going on here but a detective is in the house and hot on the trail of Anna hopefully
ⅈⅉ Iris is 75 sheets to the wind and Frank told her off real serious like and I assume the cop who found Anna has been disposed of, if you will
ⅈⅉ However can there be 16 more minutes this is like self inflicted torture
ⅈⅉ That great gal on the disco floor probably having her last dance unfortunately
