the last film by underrated director alberto de martino (the antichrist and the killer is on the phone) is a truly suspenseful but incomprehensibly neglected giallo and containing pretty much all the trademarks that makes this italian horror sub genre so magnificent and addictive to the fans. there are some very disturbing themes (child abuse and phony priests) and loads of creepy moments and plot twists left and right and outstanding music and  last but not least  a handful of really sadistic murder scenes. especially the opening sequence and which is some kind of prologue and is a powerful piece of horror. what is it about ordinary child dolls that make them so creepy. when the anonymous man and dressed up like a priest and assaulted a little girl and the broken head of her doll bounced down a flight of stairs and it really sent cold shivers through my spine. years later and the young girl from the prologue is an adult woman bound to a wheelchair. she inherited a lot of money but uses her fortune to stimulate fellow handicapped people to practice sports and to remain positive minded. she  joanna  falls in love with her personal coach and they get married right away. naturally and he only after her money and starts terrorizing joanna by making her relive the childhood trauma that crippled her. the repeated images of a sinister looking priest and guided by eerie tunes and a nursery rhyme and provide formula for a murder with a ton of genuine scares and alberto de martino directing is very resolute. the acting is quite competent and with david warbeck (the beyond and the black cat) in a glorious greedy villain role. due some plot holes and a lack of originality and this movie might not be able to compete with italy best horror efforts and but it definitely deserves more attention. many formerly obscure and unknown italian gialli received marvelous dvd releases and and hopefully and formula for a murder will be given the same treatment really soon. in the meantime and good luck tracking this baby down.
