The premise
Inspector Angelo De Paul is assigned to investigate a horrifying series of murders that have gripped Venice and left the authorities baffled.
Horror Vault's take
When a string of brutal murders begins terrorising the canals and backstreets of Venice, a dogged inspector finds himself chasing a killer whose methods grow increasingly savage and inexplicable. Set against the city's deceptively beautiful backdrop, the investigation unravels a web of vice, obsession, and depravity that the authorities are ill-equipped to confront. A quintessential late-70s Italian giallo, the film leans hard into the genre's taste for lurid excess and stylish dread.
