Bruno Mattei made a giallo about a killer copying a comic. What could go wrong? EVERYTHING.
Giovanna Dei, a young cartoonist, works on the violent comic strip "Doctor Dark". Unfortunately, young women are being killed in the style of the comic strip character and she becomes the main suspect.
Practical Effects
Deliriously fake blood and clearly plastic weapons.
Costume
Doctor Dark's ridiculous rubber mask deserves its own credit.
Director
Bruno Mattei
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mattei shot this in three weeks using leftover sets from another production, which explains the cardboard-thin atmosphere.
This was part of Italy's dying gasp of direct-to-video giallo in the '90s, when the genre collapsed into self-parody.
