Death Carries a Cane1973
“Screaming can't save you from his steely blade.”
Directed by Maurizio Pradeaux
The premise
Kitty, a photographer living in Rome, witnesses the murder of a young woman at the hands of a razor-wielding black-gloved killer. Kitty and her fiancé Alberto go to the police, only to learn that two other witnesses to the crime have been slashed to death.
Horror Vault's take
In the sun-drenched streets of 1970s Rome, a woman's chance sighting of a razor-wielding killer in black gloves thrusts her into a deadly game of cat and mouse. As she and her fiancé attempt to convince a skeptical police force of what she saw, the body count among witnesses begins to climb with chilling speed. Death Carries a Cane delivers the hallmarks of classic Italian giallo — bold visuals, razor-sharp tension, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the final frame.
