In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Photographer Kitty (a solid and appealing performance by comely redhead Nieves Navarro) witnesses a vicious murder in a window through a tourist telescope. After two fellow witnesses meet similarly gruesome and untimely ends, Kitty fears that she's going to be the killer's next victim.Although director/co-writer Maurizio Pradeaux fails to generate much in the way of suspense or creepy atmosphere, he nonetheless still compensates for this glaring deficiency by keeping the engrossing story moving along at a steady pace, pulling out the savage stops for several brutal murder set pieces, and delivering a satisfying smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity. Moreover, the sound acting by the capable cast helps a whole lot, with especially praiseworthy work by Robert Hoffman as Kitty's helpful boyfriend Alberto Morosini, George Martin as the inept Inspector Merughi, Anuska Borova as pesky reporter Lidia, and Simon Andreu as the impotent Marco. Roberto Pregadio's elegant score and Jaime Deu Casas's competent cinematography are both up to par. Worth a watch for fans of the genre.

I have to admit that Italian films never cease to surprise me almost every time. I didn't expect much of this movie and i wasn't disappointed at all. It's just a crazy Italian movie with a few intense scenes that'd work even today.Argento influence is certainly there and this isn't far from being a cult classic. Its plot just isn't solid enough and there are just too many scenes that make no sense at all. Even with all the flaws this movie is still fun to watch.I had no idea who the bad guy was before the finale because everyone seemed to have a cane at some occasion throughout the film.

"Death Carries a Cane" does a pretty good job in misleading and misdirecting you. So you never know who the killer is until the ending. But the motive given for the killer doesn't make any sense. With much more effort that could have made this movie into a classic. Also some scenes did not make sense at all. Like there were scenes cut out that have to give a logical explanation for what they are doing in the scene. This giallo might be a tad sleazy for some but in a healthy way. Because the women in this move are pretty attractive. Especially Nieves Navarro (or Susan Scott). There is something about this woman that screams sophistication. All the more hilarious later on when she is being made fun of towards the end. Overall not the most impressive giallo still a good one for a rainy Sunday.

One of the better Italian slasher flicks of it's time.Interesting use of color and editing. The story is rather typical but it moves about quickly enough. If you enjoy the earlier Argento flicks, Bava or even Fulci's "Don't torture a ducking" you should enjoy this.
