Despite the title and posters imagery which makes the film sound like a giallo, Italian film historian Roberto Curti referred to the film as a "rather typical film noir"[1]
Release
Eye of the Spider was released on 1 November 1971 in Italy.[1] Due to the growing popularity of and commercial success of the poliziotteschi through the 1970s, the film was re-released as Caso Scorpio: sterminate quelli della calibro 39.[2] The film grossed 133,333,000 Italian lire domestically.[1]
