The Bird With The Crystal Plumage. 1970.
An American staying in Rome witnesses a woman being killed in a art gallery, while himself and his girlfriend may be the next target, he decides to investigate that leads him to a spate of other killings.
This is Dario Argento's first feature film to direct on his own and what a way to make a debut with a crime thriller mixed with suspense and tension from the start right through to the end adding in his own twist to the story. The cast is strong and kept at a steady pace even though it looks like the film may slow down and go off the rails, it quickly side bends and becomes more interesting that grips your attention.
