Complications...
In FIVE WOMEN FOR THE KILLER, a man (Francis Matthews) returns home from a trip to find his wife dead. Soon, other women begin meeting the same fate, all sharing one thing in common.
This is a rather languid, by-the-numbers giallo, although the setup is novel. There is the expectedly-gloved killer, as well as a bevy of beautiful, female victims and a school of red herrings. There's just not a lot of action and the pacing is quite sluggish. This sort of film needs to be more suspenseful or at least have a good chase or two. As it is, there's not enough going on to make it all that interesting.
Recommended only for the die-hard giallo completist...
