Italian Genre Cinema Collection No. 20
Behind the bourgeois facade, unspeakable hor- ror is lying dormant: A fifteen-year-old girl is found hanged in an attic. While at first, everything suggests a suicide, the investigations of the commissioners Valentini and Silvestri as well as of district attorney Vittoria Stori bring a frightening truth to the light. The clues lead into the milieu of a ring of child abusers. All of a sudden, the ambitious detectives themselves are in great danger of becoming the next victims of a ruthless killer who, riding a motorbike and armed with a meat cleaver, paints the city streets red...
What Have They Done to Your Daughters? ranks amongst the most outstanding films in the oeuvre of director Massimo Dallamano who has produced a great deal of Italian genre classics. In this gory social study, Dallamano paints a grim portrait of society that is full of perversions and shocking insights. The blending of social criticism and the typical insignias of the genre make What Have They Done to Your Daughters? a very extraordinary entry in the realm of European thriller cinema. It’s a serious, important and red-hot movie that has its place very high up in the giallo hall of fame.
