Eye of the Spider (Italian: '''L'occhio del ragno''') is a 1971 Italian crime film directed by Roberto Bianchi Montero and starring Klaus Kinski.
Despite the title and posters imagery which makes the film sound like a giallo, Italian film historian Roberto Curti referred to the film as a "rather typical film noir"
Eye of the Spider was released on 1 November 1971 in Italy. Due to the growing popularity of and commercial success of the poliziotteschi through the 1970s, the film was re-released as Caso Scorpio: sterminate quelli della calibro 39. The film grossed 133,333,000 Italian lire domestically.
