Description: Ketty,a photographer living in Rome,accidentally witnesses the murder of a young woman at the hands of a razor-wielding black-gloved killer.Ketty and her fiance,Alberto,go to the police-only to learn that two other witnesses to the crime have been slashed to death.Ketty fears that she will be the next victim when her ballerina friend Magda is brutally killed by the same elusive culprit.The police are baffled,unable to find a motive.It is Alberto who discovers the connection:all the murdered girls were dancers.Investigating further,Ketty finds a photo identifying the killer.But before she can warn Alberto,Ketty is trapped in a lonely greenhouse,stalked by the vicious madman!”Tormentor” is a pretty stylish Italian giallo that features plenty of graphic violence and nudity.The film is quite suspenseful and there are some bloody razor slashings. So if you’re a fan of Italian giallos give it a look.

“Death carries a cane” offers everything one can expect from a giallo – intelligent cameras, lighting and editing, pretty women and sensuality galore. And one can say that Maurizio Pradeaux has learnt his Argento. The staging of the killings is creatively done – sounds, cameras, soundtrack and lighting are effectively used to create a suspenseful atmosphere. Many red herrings are thrown around to confuse the viewer and enhance the fun.

There are many pretty women: “Scream Queen” Susan Scott (Nieves Navarro), Anuska Borova (playing two different roles!), Cristina Tamborra etc…

This is a hard-to-find film ! So if you’re a fan of Italian giallos give it a look.
