Review
"The name of Umberto Lenzi is probably most associated with cheap 1980s exploitation slashers such as Cannibal Ferox and Welcome to Spring Break, but he was at one point a reasonably skilled maker of gialli. Seven Blood Stained Orchids... seems to be regarded as one of his most assured offerings, and while I would have to see more of his body of work before coming to a conclusion with regard to this, my impressions based on this film would lead me to categorize him as a second-tier giallist. Seven Blood Stained Orchids is a competent and masterfully-photographed giallo with an interesting story and reasonably creative kills, but it doesn't go much beyond that." - Michael Mackenzie, The Digital Fix
