What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect violence and sex.
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

A masked serial killer with psychosexual issues strangles female coeds with scarves before dismembering them. When a wealthy student identifies one of the scarves and thinks she has a lead on a suspect, she becomes the killer's next target, retreating to her family's remote cliffside villa with three of her girlfriends.
