'Amuck!' (1972) - Silvio Amadio.

Once seen, the myriad illicit charms of Silvio Amadio's fabulously fleshly Giallo 'Amuck!' are not readily forgotten, as it vividly remains a triumphantly trashy, smoulderingly Sapphic Italian exploitation classic. A singularly uninhibited Giallo, generously endowed with inventive intrigue and sublimely sinister cat and mouse machinations, starring the dangerously alluring feline Rosalba Neri and her flaxen-haired quarry, the glamorous Gialli ubiquity Barbara Bouchet, both indulging in an especially flavoursome slo-mo sequence of unadulterated erotica in Amadio's darkly dissipated, wildly entertaining, drug-fuelled delirium!Amongst all the hyper-lurid, crotch-swellingly sordid goings on, the talented film-maker Amadio still manages to generate some deliciously atypical Giallo-Gothic atmospherics. His menacingly off-key Mise-en-scène assisted greatly by the despicable degeneracy occurring within the decaying, wonderfully decadent, mildewed majesty of Venice! And it would be entirely remiss of me if I forgot to mention maestro Teo Usuelli's suitably sensual, euro-lounge, shunt-funk soundtrack that adds an excitingly voluptuous veneer to the increasingly intense, psychologically skewed, head-scratchingly sinister goings on within the hatefully hedonistic household of intellectually twisted, wantonly perverse bourgeois writer Richard Stuart (Farley Granger).   'Amuck!' remains an exquisitely tweaked exemplar of stylish, sweaty-palmed, darkly erotic euro sleaze, electrified by the scintillating presence of Italian Sinema's most intoxicating, skin-prickingly perky screen sirens Rosalba Neri and Barbara Bouchet.
