My Dear Killer

About This Movie

So, 'My Dear Killer' is one of those oddities from the early 70s that really sticks with you. The mix of horror and mystery creates this unsettling atmosphere, especially as Inspector Peretti digs deeper. The pacing is slow, but it builds tension effectively. What stands out are the practical effects – the decapitations are handled with a grimy realism that’s quite striking. The performances, while maybe not always polished, convey a certain rawness that feels very much of its time. There’s a darkness that looms over the whole narrative, making it a fascinating piece for those who appreciate the genre's evolution during that era.

'My Dear Killer' has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. Initially released on VHS in the 80s, the DVD version is often sought after but not widely available. Its unique blend of horror and mystery, along with a chilling narrative, has garnered interest among genre enthusiasts and collectors alike, particularly those who appreciate the nuances of 70s Italian cinema.
