Umberto Lenzi (CANNIBAL FEROX) directs this giallo, based on a novel by Edgar Wallace, about a killer who begins a series of brutal murders and leaves some bizarre clues that he plans to carry out seven ritualistic killings. The main pieces of evidence, a number of half-moon lockets, lead the police to a man named Mario (Sabato) who is desperate to prove his innocence. As Mario and a beautiful young woman named Giulia (Glas) try to solve the killings themselves, they begin to realize that the killer seems to be counting on their every move. A giallo that ranks among the best of its genre, SEVEN BLOOD STAINED ORCHIDS is an atmospheric and frightening thriller.
