    every part of this film is worth hating for how poorly it was made

    Delitti (Crimes) was written and directed by husband and wife, Sergio Pastore and Giovanna Lenzi. Of note, Sergio Pastore's health may have been failing at the time of filming, as he died the same year the film was released.

    That being said, the film itself is awful. It's one of the worst films I've seen. Painfully bad. Top to bottom, across the board, every part of this is worth hating for how poorly it was made.

    The acting is bad. Even the experienced actors here are powerless to look good in such a bad production. The script is awful. The dialogue is so bad. The "stalking" or "chase" sequences are a joke. I almost laughed at how poorly shot these scenes are.

    There is a single "special effect" in which a Halloween mask is put over the victim's face to suggest their skin is decaying after they are injected with snake venom. I couldn't care less who the killer is or what their motive is.

    Avoid this film at all costs.
    6HumanoidOfFlesh

    Trashy and sleazy late 80's Italian giallo.

    The killer of seven victims is on the loose.He murders women with the poison extracted from a particularly deadly snake found in Martinique,which deforms and kills people instantly.Highly experienced Inspector Sanders tries to catch an elusive killer."Delitti" is often regarded as one of the worst Italian gialli ever made.The script is utterly banal as well as absurd beyond belief,the killings are mostly bloodless and there are some jaw-droppingly weird scenes for example one character dances without reason or Sanders gets involved in a fist-fight with a dwarf.There is no tension,the editing is bad and some scenes simply drag too much.Let's not forget about completely awful and annoying soundtrack.However I must admit that I enjoyed copious amount of full-frontal nudity provided by sexy Michela Miti.That's why I am giving "Delitti" a generous 6 out of 10.You have been warned!
