Btw just received Massacro (1989) (R2,EC Entertainment). Andrea Bianchi's very late second entry in the giallo genre... Curious about that one.  |

Bought the blue underground Case Of The Bloody Iris yesterday so that should be here this week and still have Don't Torture A Duckling, A Blade In The Dark, The Black Belly Of The Tarantula and Door Into Darkness left to watch. Giallo filled week.  I also bought Hitch-Hike yesterday too, does that count as a giallo? I remember it being on the list of recommendations bdc wrote  |

Nice ones!  Interested in your findings... Hitch-Hike does count as a giallo since it's in the Blood and Black Lace book. Looking at the poll above it seems suspense gialli aren't very popular? I wonder why since I love them...maybe not many people have seen these films? Or are they just too subtle? Just finished watching Bianchi's Massacre (1989) and oh boy! Late extremely sleazy and trashy (shoe-string budget probably) giallo from the man who gave the world Strip Nude for your Killer... There are a few decent looking scenes in it but overall I'd say this certainly isn't a great giallo. Still it has a séance (like a few other gialli),lesbians,gays,nudity,a strange killer,some supernatural touches (yes,it's actually a giallo fantastico,well part of it!),the story involves the making of a horror movie (which seems to involve filming transvestite scenes?) and a decent amount of gore (some killings near the end are a bit tame tough). I'd say I sort of enjoyed watching it but be advised that I also said that when I finished watching Mattei's Madness (1994 and better imho).  Last edited by bdc; 14th November 2010 at 09:10 PM. |

Argentofan - That's quite a list of heavy hitters! Watched Black Belly again the other night and for the first time in Italian, which I have to say I much preferred. Also watched Case Of The Scorpion's Tail for the first time. I'm not sure if I was just on Giallo overload or not in the mood but I got a bit bored by halfway.. I'll have to go back to it another time. |

Yeah giallo overload,I also get that sometimes... I usually mix my viewing but still when on a giallo trip...it helps to watch some other stuff then and return to the giallo genre afterwards (feels good everytime!). A few other films I would classify as suspense giallo (there's more): So Sweet... So Perverse Paranoia Dirty Pictures aka Oasis of Fear Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (some gothic influences as well) Knife Of Ice Amuck Smile Before Death The Perfume Of The Lady In Black (extreme suspense! )Waves of Lust The Body A little musical interlude...

Out of complete coincidence I just watched Hitch Hike this evening! Cracking film, i was really surprised by it and think it is excellent. In the Blood and Black Lace book or not, I would not call it a giallo though.

I've definitely gone over to the dark side. I got Lenzi's "Spasmo", a Dutch release which easily's got the worst front cover compared to any DVD. It looks like one of those porn movies that attempt to include a plot too. So now i am tempted to buy an expensive Eyecatcher release that's got a great cover. Have you ever done something like this? Is it - too - crazy? |

But since it's in the book a lot of people call it a giallo. I'm planning on revisiting this one as well.  |
