The Hook

This is a rare movie & the guy who sold me a copy said it's a giallo. Perhaps he said so because he knew I am a avid giallo fan. To set the record straight - this is not a giallo, though the lead actors come from giallo background. Stunningly beautiful Barbara bouchet needs no introduction to giallo fans, and Günther Stoll (the husband) had a somewhat minor role in "What Have You Done to Solange?". There is no masked killer & no blood & gore. Nevertheless, it's a very good thriller/drama. The story revolves around Iro (Barbara) who is cheating on her rich jealous husband & planning with her lover to kill him. Husband & wife tries to outwit each other throughout the movie. I simply loved the ending - it was very different. Acting is good, direction is well done & Barbara has few amazing erotic scenes. Overall - nothing spectacular, but definitely worth a watch, you won't regret.
