A Lizard in a Woman's Skin AKA Schizoid in the U.S.
is a 1971 Italian giallo film directed by Lucio
Fulci.

The film is perhaps most famous for a scene in which
Mrs. Hammond opens the door to a room filled with
dogs that are apparently being experimented on. The
dogs are cut open with their hearts and guts still
pulsating. The scene was so graphic and realistic
that several crew members were forced to testify in
court to disprove the accusation that real dogs were
used in the film. Carlo Rambaldi, a special effects
artist, saved Fulci from a two-year prison sentence
by presenting the fake dog props in court to a
seemingly unconvinced judiciary. This was the first
time in film history that an effects artist had to
prove his work was not real in a court of law.

AllMovie wrote, "A Lizard in Woman's Skin [sic] is
a wild ride that offers plenty of bizarre moments
that will stay stuck in the viewer's mind."

STORY:

Florinda Bolkan plays the daughter of a prominant
English politician who keeps having recurring
"nightmares" in which she makes love to a bisexual
nympho who lives downstairs and conducts all-night
LSD orgies. When the nocturnal wet dreams become
murderous, the neighbor turns up dead, and Florinda
is the main suspect. Did she actually commit the
murder she dreamt about? Is she being framed by her
philandering husband? Did Florinda actually make
nightly visits downstairs aside from borrowing the
occasional cup of sugar? How DID Florinda's letter
opener end up stuck in the dead neighbor's chest
anyway? The complex plot unfolds amidst red herrings,
outlandish dream sequences, lesbian hanky panky, and
ominous close-ups of Florinda Bolkan's guilt-ridden
facial expressions every time someone mentions the
murder. All this takes place in swinging late-1960's
London.
