Extremely dull Belgian giallo.

"The Pencil Murders" is one of the dullest thrillers I have ever seen obviously influenced by Italian gialli.A maniac is on the loose and is murdering sexually active women.He kills them by sticking a pencil in their noses to the brain.There is no tension in "The Pencil Murders"-not even an ounce of suspense.The cinematography is ugly,the acting is disastrous and the characters are flat and repulsive.The film is very racist too with the inspector spurting racist dialogue.The music is annoying and the killings are off-screen.A tiny bit of sleaze helps to make the action more lively.I've heard that another Belgian giallo "The Antwerp Killer" is even worse.3 out of 10.Only for undemanding giallo completists.
