When some men’s magazine models turn up dead and their corpses are posed in front of a photo backdrop of magazine owner and former model Gloria (Serena Grandi), she naturally assumes someone has it out for her. The police investigate but the bodies keep piling up. This murder mystery thriller gives you at least four red herrings to work with.
Several people close to Gloria are creepily fixated on her, so it is hard to determine who is the real killer. These creeps are developed enough through the story to understand their possible motivations, and that’s what saves this movie from being a generic whodunit.
The oddity of the movie is, when the killer is viewing the next victim, she appears with a distorted face: in one example, the model’s face is an eyeball. This comes out of left field and is visually quite striking.
My pet peeve is that Gloria keeps playing the helpless victim, turning to others for support to an annoying degree. She is set up as a strong, independent woman at the beginning, but the stressful events chip away quickly and she seems weaker and more overwhelmed until the very end, where she is a complete mess.
