A Blade in the Dark
Directed by Lamberto Bava
In Lamberto Bava’s second contribution to the giallo genre, a psychopath stalks a composer who’s writing the score for a horror film. After the film’s director sets Bruno up in a stylish house, he begins working on the Goblin-esque score, not realizing that a real maniac is slicing up women all over the property. Bruno soon learns the film holds the key to catching the killer, and that he and his girlfriend are in grave danger. Bava follows the footsteps of his famous father, serving up a stylish slasher filled with memorable murders and a Hitchcockian finale.

Mental illness with a mix of Gender Identity Disorder. Sounds about right. Facts without being transphobic. When the first studies caame out in the 80s (no pun intended) just like any other mental illness the gender identity disorders weren't understood by the general public. Sadly, things like this happen more often that not due to the mental illness behind the GID not because of the GID itself but it does play a role. It was a good movie for it's day. The producers worked with what they had. It isn't a trans person people are afraid of. It is the mental illness behind the gender identity disorder that people fear. Mentally ill people are very unstable and unpredictable and that is what people fear.
