Review: This film Una sull’altra directed by Lucio Fulci (Cat in the Brain and Zombi 2) has one landmark moment in all his work, because it does not belong to the genre of comedy, to whom he had previously given a lot of years, and explores the action-orientation film – a thriller. Of course, the story is not in any way future Jalla and certainly not a horror, but the splash of the dark side of his aesthetic creator Fulci tries it with this work, which will be very pleasing to the admirers of his talent, to meet a kind of turning point.
The film One on Top of the Other constructs a psychological thriller based on the crime, with interesting detective moves in its ending so even with serious adverse showing passion and intrigue, both in Hamlet.

Trivial motive – insurance in the name of someone who did not know about it …
From the beginning of this amateur detective pushes along the way with the police investigation, where we are seeing the audience as clearly innocent trying to figure out what’s the matter.
