The Case of the Bloody Iris ( Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sui corpo di Jennifer?/
What are Those Drops of Blood Doing on Jennifers's Body? ) 1972


US Celluloid Dreams 4K UHD and Bluray 2 disc edition - region all (and Region A blu-ray)



A classic whodunit giallo and one of the best in the genre, if not a top ten absolutely in the top 20 gialli.
The film takes place in a high-rise building where Jennifer (Edwige Fenech) and Marilyn (Paola Quattrini)
shares an apartment. It starts with a brutal scalpel killing in an elevator and followed later by a drowning
in a bathtub homage to Mario Bava's "Blood and Black Lace".
Jennifer's boyfriend is Andrea (George Hilton) who plays an architect that can't stand the sight of blood.

Who dun it ? Lots of red herrings. Could it be Jennifer's stalking sex cult leader ex-husband, the old lady,
the violin playing professor (George Rigaud), his lesbian daughter Sheila (Annabella Contrera), Andrea

or the black girl (Carla Brait) ?
The fine soundtrack by Bruno Nicolai.
