1973's "Sex of the Witch" has a decent set-up for a giallo-style thriller. We meet a family patriarch on his deathbed, hearing his final thoughts about his gathered family, also sharing something about a secret only he and one other person knows about. The man dies, and his will offers his estate to his relatives, who now have an incentive to kill off one another to claim more of the old man's fortune. There's a sluggish but passably enticing first act that's basically discarded as the film unfolds, as director Angelo Pannaccio is more interested in making a softcore experience than a proper thriller. What a shame. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
