Awkward performances, under developed characters, flat
dialogue and bad dubbing are very common in his film as well as the films of his Italian horror contemporaries
such as Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci.
The picture is compacted and truncated in
such a way that the passage of time is hazy, the relationships between the major players is tenuous and built on stereotype, and the
dialogue is the sort of stuff that plays like the
awkward rip - off of The Man Who Would Be King that it is.
Readers will often look past substantive issues and finish the book, but they won't pick up another book by that author, and they will leave negative comments,
such as, «Some parts were confusing» (a problem with consistency), «The writing was choppy» (a problem with flow within and between paragraphs), «It wasn't well written» (a problem with
awkward sentences and possibly other various issues), «I wasn't sure who was saying what» or «The
dialogue wasn't that great,» and «It didn't really hold my attention» or «The story was boring» (a problem with telling instead of showing).
