My Dear Killer (1972)

This is another crossover from a poliziesco (Italian crime movie) to a giallo. It's a murder mystery and we follow the investigation from an inspector's (George Hilton) point of view. What starts out as an accident investigation turns into a murder spree and the only clue is a child's drawing. I quite liked the story, I mean it's very basic, but it reminded me of those detective stories from the 50's of course this time spiced up with the giallo style brutal murders. The viewer is given all the leads as the inspector discovers them so it's quite fun to try and guess what has happened, though you don't need to scratch your head too hard for it. The cast is fairly ok, none of them made an impression but they weren't bad either. The style is not the most artistic, but there are some scenes that looked quite great and Ennio Morricone's music spiced them up nicely. This movie is far from the best from either of the genres but still it has it's moments and was worth checking out.
