The Killer must Kill again sounds like a title suited for your typical
giallo. And it does start out as one. Soon it becomes clear that it's not and even
cold blooded killers can have bad days. There are numerous moments that
play out like you would see in comedies. The straight faced kind, which
makes it even hilarious at times. I personally was not expecting this
and found it refreshing. But the director made sure not to sympathize
with the culprit too much since he continually shows evil when he feels
when it is needed. This provides an unique way in building suspense
since you never really know when the killer shows that nasty side and
when he remains professional.Antoine Saint-John (as the killer) looks
like Death personified. Easily the best character in the movie next to
Alessio Orano's character named Luca who has to be the most laid back
and patient of guys in movie history. He is trying to have sex with his
girl and she keeps putting him off and delaying it to the point that
she convinces him to fetch food. Luca doesn't mind and goes on his way.
How laid back the guy is we get to witness in the scenes after with a
sexy blonde in some sleazy scenes (full frontal nudity). The contrast
between those scenes and the ones with Laura (Luca's girl) which I
won't describe was quite disturbing and shocking. It's this mix of
moments that keeps you glued to the screen. Very different from most
giallo's but in a good way.
