The film packs suspense, horror, effective aesthetic , plot twists , intrigue and being a very exciting terror-thriller . The movie is formed by a series of Giallo horror set pieces that are shot in eye-poping style and ordinarily getting hints to solve the crimes until a surprising final twist . This " 4 mosche di velluto grigio" or " Four Flies on Gray Velvet" 1971 belongs to "Argento's Animal trilogy" along with "The cat of nine tails" and "Bird with the Crystal Plumage" . Like those , this "4 Flies on Gray Velvet " is slim on plot and a bit too talky , but Dario Argento builds intrigue , suspense and tension beautifully with rich atmosphere and driving exciting musical score composed by the great Ennio Morricone . Stars Michael Brandon who gives an acceptable acting as the deranged musician who becomes involved into a twisted criminal plot , while Mimsy Farmer performs his beautiful wife , being accompanied by a fine support , such as: Jean Pierre Marielle, Aldo Bufi Landi, Bud Spencer , among others . The motion picture was competently directed by talented filmmaker Dario Argento in his usual style , as he is considered to be a master of arty gore and horror .
