The victim, therefore, is perfectly lucid while she suffers these atrocities...

Bond aficionados will appreciate the opportunity to see three Bond girls in one film: Barbara Bouchet (Moneypenny in Casino Royal); Claudine Auger (Dominique in Thunderball); and Barbara Bach (Major Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me).

Barbara Bouchet starts the show parading around in her birthday suit before she falls victim to a serial killer who uses wasp venom to stun his victims so they can watch their deaths.

Is the husband (Silvano Tranquilli) another OJ looking for the real killer? Giancarlo Giannini (Man on Fire and both of the Daniel Craig Bond films) is a police detective trying to find the killer. He constantly has a grim look on his face like he would rather be somewhere else.

The entomology lesson on the wasp and the tarantula is as horrible as the murders.

The first 30 minutes are the best before the film settles into a routine and then we get the surprise ending. Music by Ennio Morricone and superb photography make it enjoyable.

Thankfully, I got to see it in Italian with subtitles.
