I recently viewed the Italian slasher My Dear Killer (1972) on Shudder. The plot revolves around a detective investigating a decapitation murder, gradually uncovering clues about a serial killer's past through a revealing letter. As victims accumulate, the detective strives to unveil the killer's identity.
Directed by Tonino Valerii (My Name is Nobody) and featuring a cast including George Hilton (The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wradh), Salvo Randone (The Assassin), William Berger (Hercules), and Patty Shepard (The Killer is One of Thirteen).
My Dear Killer is a classic early Italian/Spanish giallo with the expected stalker elements and diverse kills that characterized the slasher era. Despite the array of kill methods, the execution falls flat, resulting in a rather average and disappointing experience. The film incorporates the expected giallo nudity and showcases well-crafted corpses.
In conclusion, while My Dear Killer is a straightforward giallo that falls short in the execution of its kill scenes. I would rate it a 6/10 and recommend viewing it once, especially for fans of the genre.
