Lovers of modern thrillers ” extraordinary crime” may seem slow and old-fashioned film, but we must understand that this movie is not Hollywood and filmed it on other canons. Many European genre paintings , not a ” squinting under the American cinema “, characterized by a certain elegance , style and depth that are inaccessible to the Hollywood mainstream bands, Ruggero Deodato and the film is just a good example of the Italian intellectual horror .
Brightest star in the film shines a brilliant Michael York . Unfortunately , the last 10 years, the talented British actor of theater and cinema is filmed primarily in frank trash , but in the 80 ‘s of last century, New York was a popular international actor who received an invitation to the high quality tape and the role of Robert Dominici – one of the pinnacles of his artistry.
