Has anyone else seen this?  I bought it from Cinema de Bizarre.

This Italian giallo stars Gina Lollobrigida and Ewa Aulin!  The story involves a couple who own a modern poultry farm/research facility, a love triangle (actually a quadrangle), murder, and black humor.  The widescreen DVD-R from Cinema de Bizarre is a sharp, excellent print.

Whether you love it or hate it, this movie is certainly offbeat and includes some odd scenes including scientifically altered chickens born with no heads and small bones for maximum meat yield!

Just about every article or review you will read about this movie will mention the unusual editing style and/or off-beat cinematography.  And the soundtrack is very effective (in many scenes it is just accoustics with notes being played in seemingly random order).

This movie isn't especially suspenseful or gory, but the acting is good and it has a sort of hypnotic quality that makes you want to keep watching.  I'm sure I missed a few things that I will catch in repeat viewings.  Give this one a shot if you're a giallo fan.

I love this movie!  I thought I was the only one here who'd seen it.  Best movie about mutant chicken farmer serial killers ever made!  I wish it would get a legitimate release here in the US.

Love giallos so I'm sure I'd really enjoy this one.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
