A murder mystery in the giallo style from one of the masters of the subgenre Sergio Martino with the sex goddess Edwige Fenech. A movie so erotic and so perverse at the same time that makes you sweat in your seat and a film that has all the great qualities of the semi-trashy subgenre giallo that makes it a movie worth watching. The Strange Vice is a film that works like a feather with a drop of poison and it touches you gently as it poisons you at the same time with its intoxicating story and atmosphere. Murder, razor blades, lies, secrets, naked bodies and guilty pasts blend together in a movie that works like a mind trap that you find yourself trapped and impossible to find the way out.
One of the best giallo movies that you can find with a mesmerizing performance by the great Edwige Fenech and with an atmosphere that stinks of terror and fear. A different horror movie, a one that drives most of its power not by the gore but from the suspense and the deadly anticipation, it wraps itself around you like a snake and you are left hopeless in your seat trying to find a safe way out when there isn't any. An ingenious murder mystery with a troubled female portagonist who suffers the whole time and a film that is closer to a psychological thriller than to a horror movie. The Strange Vice is one of the moments of the Italian cinema that live unspoiled till this day and they offer to the specator an extraordinary blend of fear, eroticism and quiestions left in the air to trouble his mind. A mindfuck movie that plays with your emotional stability.
