A Quiet Place to Kill (1970) • Discape

A glamorous race car driver is invited to her ex-husband’s estate by his new wife, only to become entangled in a deadly triangle of desire and deceit. When murder strikes, alliances shift and buried motives surface in a dangerous game of manipulation. This stylish Italian giallo blends suspense, sensuality, and betrayal in a twisted tale where no one can be trusted.

Umberto Lenzi and Carroll Baker team up for the third time with A Quiet Place to Kill. The film is enjoyable on its own terms, but fatigue is beginning to show as the same basic formula is reworked yet again.
