Product Description
Antonio Bido (aka Anthony Bido) directed this well-crafted Italian giallo thriller, which borrows from the masters of the genre - Mario Bava and Dario Argento. The story concerns a young nightclub dancer (Sylvia Kramer/Paola Tedesco) who witnesses a murder and the efforts of her lover (Richard Stewart/Corrado Pani) to track down the killer before he can get to her. With this film, Bido created a work that was both stylish and well plotted. Replete with the haunting atmosphere and gruesome deaths one expects from the genre, plus an outstanding musical score. aka "Gatto dagli occhi di giada, Il" (1977, Italy) Bonus Features: Bonus Horror Trailers| Original :30 sec and :60 sec Radio Spots| Antonio Bido Biography| Scene Selection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre release of an above-average giallo, July 12, 2002

By	William (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

The good news is, this movie's finally available again after its video incarnation on the Thorn EMI label went out of print many years ago. The bad news is, it retains that release's ugly packaging, offers few extras, and has one of the grainest transfers I've yet seen on a dvd, though it does look better than the VHS. (It may very well be the same print they used for the video transfer. Whatever print was used for the dvd certainly wasn't struck recently.) It's letterboxed, which adds about three inches to the sides compared to the video version, but still seems a little cropped. The sound is clear, though, and the excellent score is mixed high (like all gialli). The film itself is a typical giallo and features enough interesting scenes to distinguish it from lesser Italian thrillers of the time, making it one of the better post 1975 gialli. Bottom line: if you're a giallo fan, it's worth having, just don't expect Anchor Bay quality here; if you've never seen it, rent it first.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad image quality, April 11, 2004

By	"x-emanon" (Japan) - See all my reviews

I was amazed at the unclear image as to both the outline and the color.
It is almost black at the dark scene.
And, image-noise is large quantities, too.
Tohoho.....(ToT)

3.0 out of 5 stars Deep Red influence is obvious, July 11, 2002

By	Monroe (SC, USA) - See all my reviews

An entertaining giallo,this suffers a little from the large debt owed to Argento`s masterpiece.The romance between the engaging leads,the Goblinesque music,etc.I personally prefer Bido`s The Bloodstained Shadow(Giallo Collection),but this is by no means a dud.Leisurely paced,those willing to sit back and soak up the atmosphere will be rewarded.There are also some rather violent deaths in the film,including my favorite,set to classical music!Fans of 70`s gialli will want to add this to their collection.
