I tried watching this movie several times before giving up & cutting it off.For some reason I decided to give it 1 final go.Instead of cutting it off after 20+ minutes, I made it to 40+ minutes & then cut it off.I don't understand why I decided to give it another chance when I should've just left it off in the 1st place.I tried sitting through it but after awhile I just could not do it anymore.I no longer cared about why Julie is being stalked by a bunch of criminals, the stolen diamonds or whatever else happened.All of a sudden it hit me, I could be watching something else.Why am I torturing myself?! I can't believe I made it as long as I did especially being able to watch it the entire time I did with my eyes open.If you like movies that will bore you out of your mind then watch Devil With Seven Faces (Is it Devil With Seven Faces or Devil Has Seven Faces? Different sites, different names.Either way I guess it doesn't matter.This movie SUCKED!!!) If you can sit through the entire movie without falling asleep or turning it off, you have my respect

If you are expecting a good giallo from the title (Il diavolo a sette facce), especially with George Hilton (The Case of the Scorpion's Tail), and Umberto Lenzi's favorite, Carroll Baker (So Sweet... So Perverse, Silent Horror, Paranoia, A Quiet Place to Kill), you will be disappointed.There is no blood and gore as most of the killing take place with a gun. It is a straight-up crime thriller.It also stars Golden Globe winner Stephen Boyd (Ben-Hur).Lots chasing around and some torture as everyone is trying to find a million dollar diamond. Some real excitement towards the end in a windmill. Not a lot of thrillers use windmills. There is Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, as well as The Black Windmill. which also involves diamonds.Enjoyable action flick.

As has been stated by others, this does not have quite the style or blood of your average giallo but does have other of the elements appreciated by fans of the genre. Carol Baker, for one, and George Hilton, a nice jingly score and probably the most pairs of hot-pants seen in one film. Not much of a plot line and yet it is still made to seem complicated and the main police guy seems to think he is in a comedy film, talking nonsense and prancing about with a magnifying glass. However, it's all done with that gialloesque, fun spirit, with lots of planes and airport scenes, car chases and lots of female (Carol Baker) screaming. Nothing special, but pleasant enough.

Despite the title, which suggests that this will be a horror film, The Devil with Seven Faces is actually a straight crime thriller. The film features several of the Giallo trademarks; but gory murder isn't one of them, and instead the plot focuses on a missing diamond worth one million pounds. The style of the film is very much Italian, with all the characters being of the slick and cool variety and the plot taking a backseat to some odd decisions and unlikely happenings. It's safe to say that this isn't the usual Giallo and some fans may be disappointed; but in its own right, The Devil with Seven Faces is a fun little thriller with lots to enjoy. The plot focuses on Julie Harrison, a woman who finds herself being chased by criminals after it emerges that her twin sister Mary stole an expensive diamond and then double crossed her partner. She meets Tony; a suave racing car driver who saves her from the criminals and gives her a place to hide. But the plot thickens when a diamond dealer turns up and mistakes Julie for her sister...The film features two of the major Giallo stars; George Hilton and Umberto Lenzi's favourite leading lady, Carroll Baker - who are reunited after 1968's The Sweet Body of Deborah. I'm not Carroll Baker's biggest fan, but she has a lot of experience playing the terrified woman and she does well with the central role. George Hilton also plays to his strengths as the charming, but strangely sinister leading man and the pair have a good on-screen chemistry. The plot flows well throughout and there's usually enough going on to ensure that the film never becomes boring. Director Osvaldo Civirani populates the film with enough car chases and shootouts to make sure that it remains entertaining even when the plot isn't doing much. It soon becomes obvious where it's going, but the ending is well handled and the twist is logical even if it isn't exactly difficult to guess. Overall, the fact that this film doesn't follow the Giallo formula may make it disappointing for people expecting a gory, murder-fuelled thrill ride - but in it's own right, this is a decent film and I recommend it.
