a lizard in a woman's skin (1971)


aka Una lucertola con la pelle di donna.
"That woman represents to you, degradation...vice."
London in the swinging sixties and Carol Hammond (Florinda Bolkan), is suffering from recurring nightmares involving a neighbour. When the neighbour subsequently turns up dead, with Carol's paper knife in her chest, she becomes an obvious suspect. Could Carol have enacted her dreams in real life, or could it be an intricate plot by her unfaithful husband? It's up to Inspector Corvin (Stanley Baker) to find out.
A fine thriller from Fulci, that creates a foreboding atmosphere, helped in part by the Ennio Morricone score.
