You don’t forget a title and a film
like Spasmo. As for the details of
the story and characters, that can get a little hazy, not just with time but even
upon reflection the following day, since there’s so much to it. Images of
assaulted mannequins meld with memories of murdered characters that may or may
not have been real from the perspective of the protagonist, who is either losing
his mind or is in the worst company ever. It really makes you wonder if Umberto Lenzi’s experimental giallo is
either a confusing mess or a labyrinth of mysteries and riddles for the viewer
to explore and analyze.
