- Quotes
Giulia Pisani: [of Don Giorgio, with a fervor clearly beyond just religious] I think he's a great priest, and so handsome!
Sister Tarquinia: That's true, he's like an angel.
Aristide: You're right, he's really a saint!
Featured review
Pros: Good characters and acting. Nice small town setting. The story feels unique with a male priest being the primary victim that starts off the body count.
However, if you've seem a number of giallo, you'll be able to figure out the culprit pretty easily.
Music is good here - especially the closing theme.
Cons: The pacing is quite slow at times. It takes like a half hour to get to the first murder. It has a low body count as these films go. There are a bunch of red herrings that are clearly added just to try and distract you, and they were too obvious to the point that it felt like they were just filling space.
At the end of the day, this is a unique giallo that's worth a watch.
