A drummer from a psychedelic rock band accidentally kills a man and is photographed doing so. The photographer stalks him, so he hires bums and a crappy detective to solve the case.
Dario Argento is a cocksucker. There are no two ways about it. The plot failed to hold my interest even enough to finish watching this. The only main character was the drummer and he seemed like just some hippie that Argento found on the street. There was a serious lack of dialogue and the acting was unconvincing to say the least. Sets and costumes were ultra-mundane. Camera-work was good. I've said before that Argento should have been a still photographer because his shot composition is awesome. Audio is where this really bit it. The dialogue was mixed at barely audible levels, but all of the sound effects and music were clipping like an old kung fu film. Stylistically, you can tell it's Dario Argento's work by turning it on at any point. Being identifiable is not always good though. IMDb lists a rating of 6.7/10 and Rotten Tomatoes lists 75% Tomatometer with 60% Audience Score for an average of 67.3%. Even that seems high for this pile of horse dung. In accordance with my turn off policy, I rate this shit. DO NOT WATCH!
