Short Night of Glass Dolls is a 1971 Italian
giallo film and it is the directorial debut of Aldo
Lado.

Alison Nastasi of Shock Till You Drop called it
"nail-biting" and wrote, "Lado is at his best when
Short Night of Glass Dolls confronts political and
social unrest with nuanced symbolism." Noel
Murray of The A.V. Club wrote, "Short Night presages
Eyes Wide Shut in its account of a man wandering
through a shadow city while uncovering layers of
sleaze, and the film's simple social metaphor,
imaginative setpieces, and unsettling finale make it
a prime example of diverting suspense." Maitland
McDonagh of TV Guide rated it 3/5 stars and called
the ending "a genuine shocker". Allmovie praised the
film's use of tension as opposed to the gore and
violence common to the subgenre. Mike Long of DVD
Talk called it "incredibly boring and poorly paced".

STORY:

Greg Moore, an American journalist visiting Prague
with his girlfriend Mira is found dead. However,
he's actually only temporarily paralyzed, but the
coroner fails to realize this and proceeds to
prepare him for the autopsy. While Moore awaits
his doom, he tries to recollect what has happened
to him. It all starts when his girl disappears. He
asks his friend, a local journalist, for help. They
discover that this was just the latest in a series
of disappearances of young pretty girls in the
area. Their investigation leads them to a strange
high profile private club, whose affluent members
practice odd ritualistic orgies and bizarre dark
rites.
