What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.

A high-rise apartment populated by models, nightclub dancers and call girls becomes the focus of a mysterious serial killer. When a young model named Jennifer and her friend Marilyn move into one of the victims' former apartments, Jennifer becomes the next target and the pair try to identify the killer.
