Umberto Lenzi is best known for such violence-spewing film
fare as Nightmare
City and Cannibal
Ferox, but as a director who dipped his toe into numerous pools, some of
his other work has faded into the background. Lenzi's optic-bothering giallo Eyeball

“The flowers of death? I'm far from ready.” A
bus-load of American tourists are in Barcelona
to see the sights but, for some, the glint of a raised dagger will be the last
image to flash across their moist little peepers. The holidaying ensemble are a
motley bunch – the unhappily married Alvarados, a grandfather with his bored
granddaughter Jenny, shifty-looking Reverend Bronson (George Rigaud, The Case of the Bloody Iris), letchy photographer Lisa and her lesbian muse
Naiba, all leaving secretary Paulette (Martine Brochard) looking
positively dull by comparison.
