Watch Me When I Kill (1977)

After another day of miserable weather and just sitting around the house,  I decided to venture back into some classic Italian horror.  My selection was the 1977 giallo,  Watch Me When I Kill. 

Plot: When a pharmacist is murdered and a woman happens to see the culprit leave the scene, she soon finds herself being stalked by the killer. Her boyfriend tries to identify the murdered and stop him, but discovers there is more to the murder.

This giallo definitely pays homage to easily Dario Argento with many elements feeling like they are right from his classic Deep Red. While not a rip off,  the elements are noticeable. However,  this is an entertaining movie to watch featuring some good kills,  an interesting story,  and a fun soundtrack that takes you back into the 70s and classic Italian horror.  Technically,  there are some flaws with the audio flow and the language dubbing, and the effects are somewhat minimalistic, but those flaws are really covered by the storyline and performances.  In the end,  this is a solid movie and one that probably should be watched if you are a fan of giallo.
