Italian Genre Cinema Collection No. 3
A depraved maniac is on the loose. Again and again, lascivious young high-society wives are dying horrible deaths each time they attempt to escape the vacuum of an luxurious existence in exchange for a few hours in the arms of a fiery lover. It’s a mistake that will cost them dearly because the madman who lurks within the darkness is both their judge and executioner – always leaving naughty photographic evidence of their infidelity as his terrifying cat and mouse with the police, the killer seems unstoppable, and as the breathless hunt unfolds, it forces inspector Capuana to the very limits of his mind…
SO SWEET, SO DEAD is one of the most daring gialli ever to leave Italy’s sleaze factory. Driven by legendary Roberto Bianchi Montero’s no-holds-barred direction, Hitchcock protagonist Farley Granger gives an impressive performance in the role of the clever inspector. The breathtaking Sylva Koscina writhes at his side while composer Giorgio Gaslini delivers an unforgettably haunting score for the gruesome scenario, and Vitantonio Ricci’s special effects department is working overtime to make sure things get appropriately messy.
