Spasmo

Bonkers giallo that goes beyond the usual giallo convolutions and takes twists and turns to a new height. But this is one of the reasons we watch giallo. A couple, after finding a mannequin hanging in an old building come across a women lying unconscious on the beach. She quickly recovers and vanishes but Christian trackes her down at a boat party and soon they become a couple and get embroiled in murder. Is she all she seems? Is Christian all he seems? And what of the mannequins that keep turning up 'murdered'?
I can safely say that you'll never work this one out but it sort of wraps itself up well at the end, albeit with many threads unexplained. It is though made with enough style to keep you happy and the Morricone soundtrack is a pearler.
