A Quiet Place to Kill (Italian: Paranoia) is a 1969 Italian-Spanish giallo film directed by Umberto Lenzi (released in 1970).[2][3][4] The film was released as A Quiet Place to Kill in English-speaking countries, since Lenzi's earlier 1968 film Orgasmo had been released internationally as Paranoia.

Plot

A race-car driver whose life, both personal and professional, is in a rapid downfall is invited by her ex-husband's new wife to stay at their plush estate. The two women form a bond, and it's not long before their mutual dislike for the husband culminates into a plan to kill him. As it turns out, though, they're not alone in plotting murder.

Cast

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as "both sluggish and scrappy, with Lenzi bravely throwing up a screen of object-fixated camerawork and fidgety focusing, but not receiving much help from his players."[1]
