Interesting facts

Body Puzzle is a 1992 Italian Giallo film directed by Lamberto Bava. The film is about a psychopath who leaves body parts outside the house of a young widow. The film was one of the last films released by P.A.C. in Italy before its bankruptcy. The film was re-released in Italy as Misteria after legal issues of using Carl Orff's Carmina Burana as music in the film came to the front.

Production

Body Puzzle was a return to theatrically released films from director Lamberto Bava after a series of television works. The film's script was the work of an American writer Bruce Martin that was re-written by Teodoro Agrimi and Bava with the author's permission. The film was shot in 1991.

Bava did not get along with the producers while filming. Bava argued with the producers of the film who wanted a say in the direction. Bava later stated that he was offered to direct to more pictures with the producers, which he refused to do. Bava was also frustrated with the score by Carlo Mario Cordio, and during post-production had it replaced with parts of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.
