This thriller from Italian horror maestro Dario Argento is is about a serial killer on the loose, and an interesting mystery to be solved. Argento's trademark visual style is not yet as developed here as in some of his later films but we are getting there, and the movie looks quite good for what it is.
I saw this movie over ten years ago and it left an impression on me. Now I watched it again. I must say it wasn't as good the second time around but not bad either. I think the opening sequence with the murder in the gallery is the most haunting image, and then a later part when the main characters find out about the bird that the title refers to. Those are chilling. But the rest of the plot is not entirely as focused.
Not a super favorite of mine, but I would recommend it for fans of Dario Argento and slasher/mystery thrillers.
