Commentaire à la une
El pez de los ojos de oro (The Fish with the Eyes of Gold) is a 1974 Spanish giallo that tries to swim in the bloody waters of the Italian slasher craze, but ends up floundering in mediocrity.
The film's narrative is a tangled mess of red herrings and half-baked subplots that never quite coalesce. It kicks off with a scuba diver brutally murdering a woman on a beach, witnessed by a hapless bystander. From there, it devolves into a confusing whodunit involving a jewel heist, shady business dealings, and enough double-crosses to make your head spin.
As a giallo, El pez disappoints with its lack of stylish kills and suspenseful set pieces. The murder sequences are flatly shot and lacking in creativity or tension.
And despite the title's promise of something visually striking, the film is drab and bereft of any memorable imagery or directorial flair.
The acting is also amateurish across the board, with even the most intense scenes failing to generate any palpable sense of dread or danger. The dubbing in particular is atrocious and frequently out of sync.
There are glimmers of potential in El pez's premise of a killer using scuba gear to stalk victims underwater. But the film squanders this intriguing hook on a pedestrian plot that grows more incoherent as it lumbers towards its unsatisfying conclusion.
While it has gained a minor cult following among die-hard Euro-cult aficionados, El pez de los ojos de oro is a middling and eminently skippable entry in the giallo canon. It lacks the stylistic bravado and visceral impact of the genre's classics, leaving viewers with a muddled, tedious experience rather than a taut, chilling thrill ride.
