THE MAD DOG KILLER

Cinemavixion Review

Sergio Grieco's 1977 poliziottesco, "The Mad Dog Killer," plunges viewers into a brutal descent of vengeance and violence. The narrative centers on the escaped convict Nanni Vitali, portrayed with menacing intensity, who embarks on a ruthless spree against those he deems responsible for his imprisonment. His primary target is Commissioner Santini, who must then engage in a desperate and equally grim pursuit to apprehend the "beast" before his reign of terror consumes the city. The film is characterized by its unflinching depiction of violence and a gritty atmosphere, reflecting the darker side of justice and revenge in late 1970s cinema. While the plot might tread familiar ground within the genre, the execution promises a visceral and suspenseful experience for fans of Italian crime thrillers.
