Watch Me When I Kill (1977)

Fantastic!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The acting in this movie is really good.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Better than your average giallo with an affable, chain-smoking lead (Pani) and a feisty female companion (Tedesco) uniting to out pace a serial killer whose daring pharmacy murder was witnessed by Tedesco and whose now become the prime target.Despite the apparent age inappropriateness of the Pani-Tedesco duo, they make a dynamic pairing, plenty of chemistry in spite of their physical mismatch and the succession of admirers chasing her tail (alas, she only has eyes for lucky Pani). Franco Citti who appeared in "The Godfather" has a supporting role, but it's not as significant as one might expect of someone with his profile, though it does lead to one of the more memorable scenes atop a raging waterfall.The climax is probably marginally better than I'd initially anticipated, and there's solid investigative work done by the leads to reach the conclusion (a bit like finding your way out of a maze). Overall, I found the leads very likable, the music jazzy and upbeat (kudos to Trans Europa Express) and consequently, the film was better than expected though I do think the title "Watch Me When I Kill" remains something of a misnomer with little if any relevance to the mystery. And be sure not to miss the scene when the nosy neighbour sticks her head in the oven to check the beef ragout - buon appetito.

I just watched Watch Me When I Kill this evening and found it to be a very good film. This woman stops by a chemist to pick up some painkillers. she is told to come back another day by some voice she hears. the chemist is lying dead in the back of the shop. so she is now involved in a murder case. there were some quite gory senses with throat-slitting, and strangulations, apart from that i found it to be a very good storyline. I though that the director of the film, (Antonio Bido) did i very good job in making the film, i found the storyline to be quite gripping to watch as the story made sense more than some other Italian horrors that i have seen. Good Movie: Recommended

A series of brutal and bizarre killings takes place.When Mara witnesses one of the murders the black-gloved killer starts terrorizing her-she turns to her boyfriend Lukas for assistance.But will he be able to uncover the culprit before his girlfriend becomes the next victim?Antonio Bido's "Watch Me When I Kill" is an enjoyable giallo,albeit heavily influenced by Dario Argento's works,especially "Deep Red".The film is an above-average effort filled with enough suspense and shocks to satisfy fans of Italian horror.Surprisingly effective murder scenes are another reason to check this film out-in particular,the muder of Fernando Cerulli in a bathtub,set to opera music,would make Dario Argento proud.The performances are pretty good and it's nice to see Fulci's veteran Paolo Malco in one of the main roles.8 out of 10.

I rented this movie and was sadly disappointed. First the print of the DVD was very bad. Okay, so that's not the filmmaker's fault. Fine. Next, the characters were boring and not interesting at all! Usually in a giallo, there are sleazy and/or interesting people. Not here. Secondly, the murders were boring and lacked style. The one thing I will say is that perhaps if I saw a better print of the movie I would have had a better experience. Also, the "raspy voice" of the killer in the beginning was effective. And the whole revelation was pretty plausible for a giallo. Just wait for Blue Underground or someone to put out a better copy.
