I'm not racist against perverts, alright? Anyway fun times with some insane lines and some truly baffling character decisions that go nowhere. Some great embryonic Argento—smoke-wreathed neighbourhoods under perpetual lived-in decay, grimy backroads and warehouses inhabited by perverse mystics, high-tech police labs full of pointless whirring machines… high culture mixed with bloody murder, all wrapped up with the too-pat psychiatric theory of the era.
