In Symphony in Blood Red (Come una Crisalide), the Killer kills and kills and kills once more... stop for a pause... and then He kills again and again and once more, from the beginning to the end of the film. This is the basic story of the film.
In the beginning I thought that the killings had a purpose. He was killing those that had mistreated him as a child, but after a while I noticed that he was not particular, he could kill any human being (not animals, rejoice animal lovers!) that walked on earth.
Sure thing, "Come una Crisalide" shows some stylish pieces of cinema, the girls are pretty and plenty, the Killer wears something like white plastic gloves, and there are some obvious Dario Argento homages (from the eye close up to whole scenes), but in spite of everything I couldn't connect and feel interested about the film and its characters, mainly because there are no characters in the film, just images and images, not connected to any living reality.Maybe later I'll appreciate more the film, but I doubt it.
