Intimate Crimes

Intimate Crimes (Delitti a luce rossa, 1996) is an Italian crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pasquale Fanetti. The setup is cold and simple: a husband wants his wife dead so he can be with his mistress, so he hires a killer — then introduces him to her as a bodyguard.

Claudia (Gabriella Barbuti) has no reason to doubt the man protecting her. Vassili Karis plays the bodyguard who is supposed to kill her, and doesn't — because he falls for her first. The husband's plan collapses from there. Mid-90s Italian genre cinema: erotic, violent, built around a twist that turns the table. Stream it on iFILM.
