Here's the review from Fortean Times.
Though released by Shameless and starring Florinda Bolkan(notorious nun "Flavia the Heritic"),Bazzoni's disquieting giallo shuns the conventional blood,sex and nudity and concentrates instead on psychological weirdness.
Bolkan plays Alice,an overworked translator who wakes one morning to discover she has lost three days;finding a ripped-up postcard from Garma Hotel in her kitchen,she travels to the island in an attempt to figure out what has happened to her.Some of the people there seem to recognise her,and it becomes clear that on her last visit she was running from something;meanwhile,her nightmares about an evil scientist(Klaus Kinski)abducting subjects for his murderous lunar experiments grow more vivid.As she pieces together connections between her dreams and forgotten actions,she spirals into a frenzied terror - has her mind been unhinged by stress and tranquilisers,or is she victim of an awful plot?
Shot by master Italian cinematographer Vittorio Storaro,Balkan is a lonely figure dwarfed by imposing buildings and landscapes as the weight of the world around her presses in.Strange and slow,"Footprints" presents a horrifyingly believable vision of confusion and paranoia that hooks the imagination.
8/10: unsettling entangling of fear and nightmare.
