A typical Giallo with high amount of red herrings and at the time the film was highly censored in several countries due to the grisly killings and lots of blood and gore . Someone is strangling beautiful college girls in Perugia . The only clue about the murders of coeds that are shocking in the University of Perugia is that the killer owns a red and black scarf , and police are stumped .

The beautiful but unfortunate girls are mercilessly pursued by an ominous series killer . A blood-drenched nightmare from which you awaken too late ! .Something is out there .. coming closer .. Don't be afraid to be afraid ! .
Sergio Martino's Gialli getting certain success , being compellingly shot , including well staged crimes with plenty of startling visual content . This is the usual Gialli with a string of appalling lust murders with usual series killer wearing scarf and knife , where intrigue , tension , suspense , stabbing and chases show up lurking and threatening throughout a mansion , building , streets , corridors and grim interiors . The film combines atmospheric blending of thrills , chills , nudism , high body-count and suspenseful final . The rather perplexing tale weavers so many red herrings until ultimately the murderer is unmasked . Based on a story by prolific , Gialli expert Ernesto Gastaldi and whose scripts were created films as Death Walks at Midnight , The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh , The Sweet Body of Deborah Secrets of a Mafia Mistress , Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, So Sweet... So Perverse . Nice ambiance and setttings , enhanced by the well photographed city of Perugia , carried out by good cameraman , Giancarlo Ferrando. As well as intriguing musical score by Guido and Maurizio de Angelis . Along with British main stars , Suzy Kendall and John Richardson, appearing various Italian actors , such as : Luc Merenda , Tina Aumont , Roberto Bisacco , Angela Covello , Carla Brait , giving all of them passable interpretations .
The picture was decently directed by the Italian director Sergio Martino . Talented and versatile writer/director Sergio Martino has made unaffected products for mass consumption , realizing a vast array of often entertaining films through an uneven career . Brother of producer Luciano Martino, Sergio has frequently worked with actors George Hilton , Ivan Rassimov , Claudio Cassinelli and actress Edwige Fenech . Directing all kinds of genres as horror, gialli , sex comedy and Spaghetti Western as proved in Mannaja , Arizona returns .
