The Case of the Bloody Iris
The Case of the Bloody Iris (Italian: Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer?, lit. "Why those strange drops of blood on Jennifer's body?", originally released in the UK as Erotic Blue) is a 1972 Italian giallo film directed by Giuliano Carnimeo, identified in the credits as Anthony Ascott. DVD Talk called the film "never boring" and "a competent thriller which offers enough violence and sex to satisfy the most ardent giallo fan".
Plot
A prostitute, Luna, is buzzed into the high-rise apartment building of a regular client. She is stabbed to death in the elevator by a masked killer who vanishes before it reaches the top floor, where the tenants (violinist Professor Issacs, widow Mrs. Moss, and casino stripper Mizar Harrington) discover the body. The police are called as Mizar leaves for her shift at the casino.
