Summary: Another Bava Treasure
Review: This is a highly entertaining, suspensful film which proved Mario Bava being equally effective in a modern setting as well as in a period setting. Although partially shot in English, this is the uncut Italian version with the drug references intact and the Roberto Nicolosi score which was replaced by the score for Black Sunday! Bava also was his own cinematographer.Special features on the DVD include a Mario Bava biography, liner notes by Tim Lucas, director and cast filmographies, theatrical trailer, and a photo and poster gallery. A wonderful DVD, highly recommended.

Summary: SO-SO GIALLO THRILLER.....
Review: This is not a horror film even though it was once shown in America as "The Evil Eye". Instead, it's a very tame little mystery with Bava's giallo atmosphere and little else. An "American" girl (Italian actress Leticia Roman) comes to Rome to visit an old family friend who up and dies on her. She then witnesses a murder but there's no body to back her up to the police. So she starts her own investigation ala Nancy Drew style. A bland John Saxon plays a doctor who believes her and provides clues to the mystery. Lots of creepy set-ups but no action keep this one from being as good as it could have been. Not bad as long as you don't expect too much but it was way too dull for me.

Summary: I LOVE THIS MOVIE
Review: While it certainly isn't MARIO BAVA at his best, THE GIRL WHO KNEW TO MUCH is a stylish and unusual thriller which pre-dates BLOOD AND BLACK LACE as one of the earliest examples of the 'giallo' style. No other country but Italy could produced a film with such a unique feeing and 'look'.
The VERY attractive Leticia Romain is excellent as the niave yet plucky heroine who tries to unravel something she witnessed after being mugged. Was it a murder, a dream, or an 'ectoplasmic projection' of a crime committed in the same spot 10 years earlier?
The black and white photography enhances the beauty of Rome and the under-rated John Saxon provides the love interest, some humour and a possible suspect as the doctor who befriends 'Nora' when she arrives in Italy.
A superb unsung milestone in cinema thriller history.
