I dont understand...(spoiler s)

out of everyone, I felt bad for the girl who got attacked by the dog, really sad, dogs scare me, they are such angry creatures!

*note to self: live life like its worth it, and stop watching these dumb movies*

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, so this might be a bit fuzzy:

The reason that girl looks like a man is because she WAS a man. Argento hired a transexual to play the part, just to add to the sexual confusion and further blur the gender lines.

As for that scene, this is how i took it: That girl was like a town whore or something, who used to entertain all the horny high-school boys at her beach house. Peter, as a young man, offended her in some way (then yells at her and smacks her in the face) so she and the other boys chase him down the beach and beat him up. This seems to really confuse and humiliate Peter sexually. A while later, he murdered that girl, and got away with it, but the urge to kill never really left him.

and Peter's assistant, that's Daria Nicolodi, Argento's longtime girlfriend and and absolute goddess in the italian horror genre. Have you seen any of ther other work? She's excellent! Her scene at the end of Tenebre with her just screaming over and over again is brilliant!

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

It was played by a trans
