In 1972, she starred in two more gialli; in Aldo Lado's Chi l'ha vista morire? ("Who Saw Her Die?") with George Lazenby and Martino's Il tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave ("Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key") with Luigi Pistilli and Edwige Fenech.[1] After the early 1970s, Strindberg acted in many types of "genre films"; a women in prison film Diario segreto da un carcere femminile ("Women in Cell Block 7"), The Exorcist-like horror film L'anticristo ("The Antichrist") and a poliziotteschi film Milano odia: la polizia non può sparare ("Almost Human"), directed by Umberto Lenzi.
