Woof. Mouthful. Clunk-Ometer 10/10
The film has been released under several alternative titles, including Gently Before She Dies, Eye of the Black Cat, and Excite Me.Eye of the Black Cat, because as unconnected as it is, there are allusions in this movie to an evil black cat, which although it has nothing to do with anything, I guess is there? Excite Me is a decent title.
A reclusive writer and his wife have their maid killed by someone and immediately hide her body because of fear of the police. Then, the writers niece Floriana arrives and senses something off. Perhaps for legitimate reasons or perhaps to find out what's going on, Floriana seduces the writers wife and then gets involved with a local racer. Its a ton of characters I didn't even mention and a lot of dialogue in this convoluted movie with an equally or perhaps more convoluted name.
I've seen this title kick around on various lists, of Italian thrillers of this time, cult movies, etc. The main actress Edwige Fenech was a sex symbol of her time and has a rockin bod, and was in the somewhat less clunky named The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh.
Confusing plot, lots of stuff going on, some good sex scenes and some decent deaths. Its a good one, but definitely a vibe movie. I'll give it 3 stars.
