Product Description
"The naked body of schoolgirl leads the police to a teenage prostitution ring as vice & corruption explode onto the Italian streets in a blaze of machete-wielding fury.
When suspects in the case are killed by a mysterious stranger clad in motorbike leathers, the police realise that the trail of corruption goes all the way to the top, and set their sights on busting the case wide open. But as the body count rises, the crash-helmet-wearing motor-psycho colours the mean streets red in a bid to stop them.
Massimo Dallamano s masterful hybrid of giallo mystery and poliziotteschi thriller is interwoven with breakneck chase-sequences and a deeply cool soundtrack to create a landmark in 70s European cinema.

I'd heard alot about this film and having just watched the superb Shameless presentation I can say I was very impressed. Director Massimo Dallamano is no hack (unlike Aristide Massacessi or even Lucio Fulci who's "New York Ripper" remains a career embaressment for example) Dellamano has crafted an outstanding police - slash - giallo film here. Impressive performances by all, even allowing for the dubbing process this works better than normal. Many genuinely tense edge of the seat moments with a few surprises along the way. As often is the case the music in these Italian genre pictures is worth mentioning on it's own merits - with this Stelvio Cipriani theme being wonderfully haunting.
Dellamano also deserves kudos for the outstanding "VENUS IN FURS" also beautifully presented by this same video label.
As mentioned above, the transfer is excellent with nice colour, contrast and framing. Shame less have done themselves proud here - more so than in their appalling transfer from decidedly dodgy elements of "Oasis of Fear" - a good film marred by unwatchable transfer 'lines' and imagery.
I highly recommend "WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS" as an altogether satisfying, well written thriller not without it's moments of jaw dropping gore.

One of the most tense, gripping suspense/thrillers I've ever seen, 'What Have They Done To Your Daughters' is not the kind of film they ever show on terrestrial tv - not even in the small hours - but it is a genuinely great film. Right from the first reel it draws you in and doesn't let go. The acting is believable, the camera work is very nice, and the sense of claustrophobia that builds throughout is expertly paced...an underrated classic, don't pass up the opportunity to own this one. 5 stars

After a teenage school girl is found murdered, a police inspector (Claudio Cassinelli) becomes determined to find who is responsible but what he finds is something far worse than he could have ever imagined, a group of young girls been forced into prostitution by a assembly of rich and highly influential businessmen.
After reading the reviews for this film I was determined to watch this and have my own say. In my opinion this is a great entry into the Giallo genre. What I found different with this Giallo is that the killer isn't someone who we have seen earlier in the film, his character doesn't have the hidden identity we are eager to discover but it is the identity of those behind the prostitution ring we what to uncover.
The film features as usual alot of violent killings all been carried out by the tradition man in black, but I found this particular killer alot more threatening than the usual killer as he is shown on screen in every murder and not the usual over used hand held POV shot which I can find makes films alot more cheesy when they are used to much.
The acting seems nothing special but I think thats down to the terrible dumbing but I was impressed by the performance from Giovanna Ralli as the District Attorney Vittoria Stori who helps Inspector Silvestri (Claudio Cassinelli) solve the case. I also liked the fact that there was no sexual relationship between the two as it becomes rather boring after seeing it in almost every Giallo ive ever seen. Theres a great score by Stelvio Cipriani and one of the themes used over some of the more tense conversation scenes is one of my favourite pieces of music ever used in a Giallo.
Overall this is top rate film/DVD that I would Recommend people buy.

A fair Euro Flick
A fair Euro film, where you see the events from the point of the police investigating. Not a horror film as most in this collection are.
