The Giallo Thread

[bdc]

Musical interlude...

[bdc]

Obviously made for Italian tv with generous amounts of nudity but tame kills (all but two happen offscreen!).
Starts off very promising (the strange visions of the killer especially are worth a watch as well as the "bee kill") but then turns into a rather mediocre (at best) made for tv giallo...fans of Serena Grandi won't be disappointed though.

Edit: and of course Sabrina Salerno appears in this one as well...

Recently watched Death laid An Egg .... not sure what genre it really fits into it was certainly a surreal and strange movie. The score was broken up all over the place which added to the overall insanity. Never seen a film set in a mutant chicken factory before i have to say The Actress was hot think her name was Ewa Aulin a Swedish fitty . Not sure i would purchase it but it was definitely one of a kind ! recommended for obscur`ists

I'm not sure if this is really a giallo film. But if it is, the last one I can recall seeing was "who can kill a child"
I guess it could be described as no punches pulled.
I gave it a six on imdb, which to me is the same as *** or good.

Watched Red Queen Kills 7 Times (again) but upscaled, was beautiful.
Can only imagine how nice a Blu Ray would look.

A recent Carroll Baker double for me:

Knife of Ice (Il coltello di ghiaccio) (1972) - Umberto Lenzi




The Sweet Body of Deborah (Il dolce corpo di Deborah) (1968) - Romolo Guerrieri

Great stuff B_E.

Can you recommend a dvd of these or are they from streaming? I know Knife of Ice has a release but i thought it was poor quality but i may be getting confused with something else.

The recent US Knife of Ice release is nothing more than a grey market bootleg (and of poor quality from what I've heard), and the Japanese release (titled Ice of Knife ) is long oop, unfortunately.

Knife of Ice is available to watch on Youtube, however.

There is a decent Swedish DVD of The Sweet Body of Deborah from Njuta films titled: En röst i mörkret (those crazy swedes ).

Thanks for the info B_E.

Random moan time - Surely its films like these, with international film stars, that Shameless, Arrow et al should be looking at releasing rather than rehashing the same old stuff time after time.

Deborah has recently been remastered it seems (as there's a new Italian Cinekult dvd).
You should have a look at Orgasmo and Paranoia BE (if you haven't already).
Also I'd recommend Il Corpo.
