Returning to this film after a couple of years I find it not quite as good as I remember and in fact I now prefer the earlier part whereas before I preferred the last half hour. The finale is still very good but there are changes in style here that bother me a little. We start out in full on sexy giallo style. Great angles, bare flesh and nasty exploitative killings. In the middle there is a more mundane less sparkling aspect to it. It has to be said that the walking through the swamp like woods to meet death is a spooky, almost surreal scene. Unfortunately the big three murders all happen off camera and at once and if the finale is suspenseful, it is also a little drawn out and maybe better pacing would have made this good film into a great one.
