About This Movie

Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key is one of those giallo flicks that really nails the mix of sleaze and intrigue. Sergio Martino directs with a keen sense of atmosphere—there's a moody, oppressive feeling throughout. You can feel the tension building as Oliviero, played by the intense and often repulsive Edwige Fenech, spirals deeper into his own madness. The murder scenes are brutal, and the practical effects are surprisingly effective for the time. The score, with its eerie vibe, contributes to that unsettling tone. It dives into themes of obsession and betrayal, making it feel richer than your average whodunit. Plus, the setting in that lavish yet decaying manor adds a layer of gothic charm.

Released by Arrow Video in a restored edition.Notable for its striking use of color and shadow.Features a haunting score by the legendary Ennio Morricone.Part of the Italian giallo genre, blending horror and mystery.
