A Quiet Place to Kill (Italian: Paranoia) is a 1970 Italian-Spanish giallo film directed by Umberto Lenzi.^[2]^[3]^[4] The film was released in Italy originally as Paranoia, but it was released as A Quiet Place to Kill internationally, since Lenzi's earlier 1969 film Orgasmo had been released internationally as Paranoia.

Plot

A race-car driver whose life, both personal and professional, is in a rapid downfall is invited by her ex-husband's new wife to stay at their plush estate. The two women form a bond, and it's not long before their mutual dislike for the husband culminates into a plan to kill him. As it turns out, though, they're not alone in plotting murder.

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as "both sluggish and scrappy, with Lenzi bravely throwing up a screen of object-fixated camerawork and fidgety focusing, but not receiving much help from his players."^[1]
