Sweets from a Stranger (film)

Sweets from a Stranger (Italian: Caramelle da uno sconosciuto) is a 1987 Italian thriller film directed and co-written by Franco Ferrini. The film is about a serial killer targeting sex workers. The women decided to band together to protect themselves, but their efforts are only partially successful as the killer continues their killing spree. As the police investigate, the sex workers group together to try and find some leads on their own.

Ferrini got the idea for the film while writing the film Red Rings of Fear (1978). It was produced with a budget of 2 billion Italian lire. Retrospective reviewers commented on if the film should be considered a proper giallo, noting its subdued nature and attempts at Social realism, while noting its reveal of the killer and violent scenes relate it to the other gialli.
