One of the better Italian horror/thrillers I’ve seen.
Like most Italian films of the era that I’ve seen, the woman is only there to be abused and threatened by just about everyone. A little different in this one is that she is often the smartest one in the room!
Lead actress is really good. Watching and listening to her tear the men a new one when they give her their “Ah, poor upset little girl” gaslighting BS, is worth the watch all by itself!
