French pressbook for Schizo

Schizo is a heady witch's brew of childhood trauma, split personality and brutal murder; as such, it has all the ingredients one would expect to find in a proper Italian-made giallo film. And yet, the film never catches fire. Walker's tendency to pad his films to the breaking point is especially evident here. Clocking in at a weighty 109 minutes, it is most definitely a good 20 minutes too long. Despite his arguments to the contrary in the interview included on the Blu-ray, the film works best when it gets down and nasty. There are a few truly brutal murder set pieces strewn throughout, and even when the film lurches toward absurdity—as in the scene wherein a mortally wounded assailant terrorizes Samantha—it at least has the benefit of going full throttle where it counts. Sequences like this remind one of the nervous energy evident in Walker's best films, but sadly they are few and far between. Probably the most effective suspense sequence involves a character unknowingly chauffeuring the killer in the back seat of their car, only for the character to get their throat slit at a traffic light; it's punchy, well edited and is capped with a gruesome effects shot of the gaping wound on the victim's throat.
