An interesting Fulci. There' s no Giallo slashing, no perversion, as the title might suggest. Just an interesting, almost Vertigo-like story and a lot of tasteful eroticism, which was a sought-after commodity and a trend in the cinema at the height of the sexual revolution, and Fulci pulled it off. As for the plot, hirnlego would probably say that "woman is the greatest evil on earth"; anyway, it's a bit naive, the villain's premature confession a too willing, but the ending, though a little too trite, was a delight. The colors were beautiful, many, many shots were really cool, and Mr. Director did his traditional crime lab cameo.

Lucio Fulci may have become famous for his brutal scenes, films featuring killers, and supernatural movies. But with One on Top of the Other, he showed that he was close to the giallo genre in other ways, that he could transcend it, and that he made a film almost Hitchcockian in its exploration of the uncertainty of truth, morality, and what is right. The excellent screenplay is complemented by a certain direction that seems to transcend Fulci himself.
