It could be that the time this film came out that the subject was
pretty shocking and disturbing. And I must admit that there are scenes
that are still shocking today.
The film itself however didn't manage
to thrill me all the way. Since not once did I feel dread from the
killer. Although enough suspects are presented, it is hardly
surprising who the killer is, especially since the film itself rules
out several of these suspects. The motivation for these killings is far
more interesting anyway. The explanation that is given, however, to me
wasn't satisfying or compelling enough. One of the reasons for this is
that the title character Solange isn't long enough in the film to
express what she has been through. It would have been far more
effective if scenes were shown how Solange was treated. Some of the
plot points leading to the killer come out of nowhere and were far too
convenient to convince me.
Does this make a bad movie? Not at all. But
compare it to Deep Red and you will see what a true masterpiece should
be like.
