Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Diagonaldi Very well executed

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Michael Ledo Julie and Mary are twins (both Carroll Baker!). Julie gets a phone call from Mary claiming she is in trouble. Julie fears for her life as she is threatened by burglars. She has some friends watch over her, but they are not there all the time. Half way through the film we discover they are looking for jewels.The restoration was fair. Note the Bic lighter used as a "flashlight" before the age of cell phones. Also Julie must stay at her home because she awaits a call from Mary. Time hasn't been kind to the production. The writing and acting are no longer entertaining.Guide: No swearing. Brief rear nudity. Implied sex. Woman gets blouse ripped open. On 50 DVD multi-packs.

JasparLamarCrabb A lousy Italian made thriller starring Carroll Baker & Stephen Boyd. Baker is a neurotic career girl (it's never clear what it is that she does for a living) being stalked by a bunch of hoods looking for a diamond her twin sister may or may not have stolen. Boyd is her lawyer. George Hilton is Baker's lover who becomes her pursuer. A hopelessly confusing and very long 90 minute crime film from director Osvaldo Civirani. Shot in Italy & Holland, the film has no sense of any place at all. There are exactly zero thrills. This still-born dreck was just one of many films Baker made in Italy during the late '60/early '70s. The meaning of the title remains a mystery.

christopher-underwood As has been stated by others, this does not have quite the style or blood of your average giallo but does have other of the elements appreciated by fans of the genre. Carol Baker, for one, and George Hilton, a nice jingly score and probably the most pairs of hot-pants seen in one film. Not much of a plot line and yet it is still made to seem complicated and the main police guy seems to think he is in a comedy film, talking nonsense and prancing about with a magnifying glass. However, it's all done with that gialloesque, fun spirit, with lots of planes and airport scenes, car chases and lots of female (Carol Baker) screaming. Nothing special, but pleasant enough.

The_Void Despite the title, which suggests that this will be a horror film, The Devil with Seven Faces is actually a straight crime thriller. The film features several of the Giallo trademarks; but gory murder isn't one of them, and instead the plot focuses on a missing diamond worth one million pounds. The style of the film is very much Italian, with all the characters being of the slick and cool variety and the plot taking a backseat to some odd decisions and unlikely happenings. It's safe to say that this isn't the usual Giallo and some fans may be disappointed; but in its own right, The Devil with Seven Faces is a fun little thriller with lots to enjoy. The plot focuses on Julie Harrison, a woman who finds herself being chased by criminals after it emerges that her twin sister Mary stole an expensive diamond and then double crossed her partner. She meets Tony; a suave racing car driver who saves her from the criminals and gives her a place to hide. But the plot thickens when a diamond dealer turns up and mistakes Julie for her sister...The film features two of the major Giallo stars; George Hilton and Umberto Lenzi's favourite leading lady, Carroll Baker - who are reunited after 1968's The Sweet Body of Deborah. I'm not Carroll Baker's biggest fan, but she has a lot of experience playing the terrified woman and she does well with the central role. George Hilton also plays to his strengths as the charming, but strangely sinister leading man and the pair have a good on-screen chemistry. The plot flows well throughout and there's usually enough going on to ensure that the film never becomes boring. Director Osvaldo Civirani populates the film with enough car chases and shootouts to make sure that it remains entertaining even when the plot isn't doing much. It soon becomes obvious where it's going, but the ending is well handled and the twist is logical even if it isn't exactly difficult to guess. Overall, the fact that this film doesn't follow the Giallo formula may make it disappointing for people expecting a gory, murder-fuelled thrill ride - but in it's own right, this is a decent film and I recommend it.
