•Florence, 1980s: a mad killer murders and mutilates couples who seclude themselves in isolated areas. The police are in the dark; a criminology graduate student preparing a thesis on "the couple killer" begins to investigate... We are faced with yet another bad product of Italian genre cinema. The flaws are the usual ones: terrible screenplay, mediocre actors, and directorial incompetence. A film that, despite its brevity (just over an hour), still manages to bore the viewer and which, moreover, ends abruptly and absolutely incomprehensibly. Before the credits, the director gives us his last "gem" by inserting a superimposed phrase that reads: "This film was made as a warning to young people (but a warning for what! To stop them from going to make out with their girlfriends!) and with the hope that it will help the police catch these ferocious killers (it will surely be after seeing this film that the police will decide to arrest Pacciani!). Avoid!
