The Sister of Ursula (1978) is an Italian giallo picture that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows two sisters whose father recently passed away and leaves them a fortune. They head to the Amalfi coast looking for their mom. They check into the wrong hotel where a serial killer lurks killing female guests. One of the sisters has visions of something being off but the other sister doesn't believe her until the evidence around them is impossible to ignore. Can the sisters work together to overcome the killer?
This movie is written and directed by Enzo Milioni (Luna di sangue) and stars Barbara Magnolfi (Suspiria), Stefania D'Amario (Zombie), Yvonne Harlow (La commessa) and Marc Porel (Murder to the Tune of the Seven Black Notes).
This is one of those giallo pictures that couldn't decide if it wanted to be a slasher or soft porno...so it's both. The cinematography to capture the beautiful Amalfi coast was excellent. In classic giallo fashion this is more about the chase than the actual kills and the horror elements would be a camera following a lady, the camera flashes to the killer's eyes and/ormurder weapon and then a corpse. Almost every victim is a nude woman and the facial expressions of the victims as they were getting killed cracked me up. The sex scenes were solid with strategic camera angles and hilarious background music. There's limited gore but solid character development and a fun killer unveil at the end.
Overall, this is an average giallo picture that is a must see for fans of the genre. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
