Luna di sangue

This quite cheaply produced inheritance thriller delivers a hardly exciting Giallo plot, rather weak actors and far too much dialogue that doesn't really push the plot forward. The only thing that makes this film about dark plans of a ruthless killer to drive a wealthy young woman without any relatives crazy (to inherit her money, of course) extraordinary is the handful of gore effects: They are quite nasty and don't fit at all into the rest of the picture. Except for these FX, this film makes the impression of a boring sub-par thriller made for cable. All in all this movie hasn't really got anything remarkable in it and is quickly forgotten: 3 out of 10.

By the way: This is one of the five films legendary director Lucio Fulci supervised in 1989 to re-use some of the gory bits for his 1990 splatterfest "Nightmare Concert". The other four are the remarkable "The Snake House" (aka "Bloody Psycho"), the interesting but overtly cheaply made "Non Si Seviziano i Bambini" (aka "Hänsel e Gretel"), the sometimes gross "Non Avere Paura della Zia Marta" and sleazeball Andrea Bianchi's "Massacre" that is as tedious as "Luna di Sangue".
