So what started out as simple "Perfect Murder" giallo-type film, now morphs into a minor plot-twist, storywise. But, as a credit to the screenplay and Luigi Cozzi's direction, an interesting development happens. I really can't recall ever seeing a giallo where numerous characters (Including the villain!) all experience their share of suspense. You have Giorgio acting like he's distraught from the crime, but the Inspector (Eduardo Fajardo) senses foul play, which continiously makes Giorgio uneasy. You have the reckless couple, who just want to take a drive to the beach for some pre-honeymoon matters, but the fact that they've stolen a car puts them on the edge once they have an encounter with the cops. And you then you have The Killer. Who has to retrieve the car, and the dead body in the trunk, just so he can get paid! But hey, if you're the type of fan who doesn't really care about suspense, then relax and wait until Femi Benussi shows up. Though she's sporting a terrible blonde wig, she provides the movie with blood and T&A (Don't you love the "Anything goes" mentality that these movies are known for? I sure do) '''The Killer Must Kill Again''' is recommended for those who like their gialli with a twist.
