Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key
Directed by Sergio Martino
An abusive writer is suspected of carrying out a series of murders with a sickle in this essential giallo from Sergio Martino and writer Ernesto Gastaldi (TORSO). Oliviero is lecherous, alcoholic, racist, and violent towards his wife (Anita Strindberg). So when his lovers start turning up dead, all eyes fall on him. But this is no ordinary whodunit-style giallo. Martino and Gastaldi are skilled at subverting audience expectations – and utilize the divine Edwige Fenech and elements from Poe’s “The Black Cat” to twist the screws ever so deliciously tighter and tighter... Contains sexual scenes, violence and gore.

Interesting but not unique.
Eh, Idk why, this one was interesting but it really didn't do anything for me...I like Giallo films generally, but I don't think this was one of his best works... 1/5 is because I have to somewhat like a movie for me to give it a 2+, and I really didn't like this one... The ending was pretty decent, though...

I liked the ending... you'll either like it or you won't. Not too much gore, so if that's what you're looking for you probably won't like it.
I did not like it.
