The Editor
“He'll leave you on the cutting room floor!”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 71, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A one-handed film editor becomes a suspect when murders interrupt an Italian horror production. Astron-6's giallo spoof reproduces the genre's strange dubbing rhythms, dubious motives and visual excess with meticulous affection. The plot grows overcrowded, but the deliberately off-centre dialogue is a reliable pleasure.
