Note : As the 70s went on, the giallo genre became less popular, and in its place rose a new, more brutal, gritty, and action-oriented type of film, the poliziottesco, crime films focused on tough loner cops fighting a corrupt system, inspired by US 70s fare like Dirty Harry. This particular film represents a transition of genres, mixing giallo tropes (a mysterious masked killer with a signature weapon, loving close-ups of blood spatter) with police procedural and a pretty big dash of straight exploitation. It's not a bad film, although it's a bit talky, and it delivers in the gore and nudity departments.

The discovery of a teenage girl who's hanged herself gets the police on the trail of an underage prostitution ring, and an unlikely alliance is formed between a tough police commissioner and a female district attorney. However, things are complicated by the appearance of a motorcycle-riding, hatchet-wielding serial killer, and it's possible that the corruption goes all the way to the top.

This remaster looks pretty good, nice detail and clean image, although the color and contrast are maybe a little bit dull. Sound is fine, as usual, I prefer the original Italian with subtitles.
