Review of Spasmo

Spasmo (1974)
7/10
Much better after a second viewing

Giallo movie starring Robert Hoffman, Ivan Rassimov & the incredibly beautiful Suzy Kendall & directed by Umberto Lenzi, who is perhaps best known for his cannibal movies. This one mixes up murder, love & insanity, focusing on the relationship between two brothers. I first viewed this in Italian & under the influence of a few beers and to be honest I totally lost what was going on. So I have just viewed it again but sober & in English. Thankfully it all made sense! Not the best giallo by any means but its well shot, has a nice musical score, packs in some suspense & has a good cast. Pretty tame on the sex & violence front. Rated 15 in the UK.Strange title though!
