I think there must be a way to look at this for it to be good, but i cant find it ..it seemed amateurish and sloppy.
Notably the first time that i really couldnt find anything to enjoy despite how much i love italian horror.
I'll watch it again - who knows maybe I'll find something the 2nd time around now that my expectations are much lower

If you look at the film for what it is; a very low budget "B" movie. Fulci and Argento have a knack for creating SFX that are more inline with the bigger budget films of the same era. They don't spent the money on highly paid actors, locations etc, but do produce effective movies.
If you try to compare movies such as Seven Doors of Death with big budget movies like The Exorcist you will almost always be unhappy. It took me awhile to accept the Italian movies, thinking they were all bad, because I would always compare them to the bigger budget, U.S. made movies.
I finally figured out that I was missing a big part of good horror by excluding what I automatically thought was terrrible movies if they were Italian.
