Synopsis:
A vicious serial killer is on the loose slaughtering with no mercy but much macabre creativity. For the warped psychopath is removing different body parts on each victim, replacing them with the corresponding part from life-size antique Italian dolls. Hard-bitten Inspector Giacomo Amaldi (Luigi Lo Cascio) is convinced the assassin is gruesomely building the perfect mate. But as the bloody body count continues he comes face to face with the shocking moral decay of his city as well as the ghosts of his own grisly past. With his new girlfriend Giuditta (Lucia Jimenez) in mortal danger, can Amaldi fit the pieces of the terrifying puzzle together in time?

A gritty modern day giallo film - Eyes of Crystal review by NP

Spoiler Alert
12/12/2020

From the opening scenes, there is no excuse to look away. Director Eros Puglielli does a brilliant job of dragging the viewer kicking and screaming into this eventful giallo-flavoured thriller. He doesn't shy away from the gratuity either - whereas such films from the classic early '70s era where the blood was paint-shop-bright red, here, it is rather more realistic.

This is the story of a sadistic and highly inventive serial killer. We are given an entertaining array of characters, many of whom could well be the antagonist. We are also given some flawed but compelling protagonists too, all wrapped up in a swirling, atmospheric production that I'm not sure has received the attention it deserves. My score is 9 out of 10.
