It's better than I expected it to be, I was expecting to see glitches but they were a bit of a blink and miss it in one part but the rest, picture, sound quality is top notch with this

A Lizard In A Woman's Skin. 1971.

Carol who is the daughter of a British politician has dreams of her neighbour Julia being killed. When Julia is found dead, Carol begins to suspect that she has done it.

This was a great Giallo by the godfather of gore Lucio Fulci that has plenty twists and turns, Florinda Bolkan takes center stage as Carol who visits a psychotherapist about her dreams of seducing her neighbour Anita Strindberg and killing her until she i found murdered. This is certainly a who dunnit that unfolds brilliantly with every character being the main suspect. Alberto de Mendoza plays the police Sgt who pieces everything together slowly and surely, always great to watch this and never be bored.

A very good giallo. The Mondo Macabro Blu-ray is a really good disc of that one.

Likewise.
Mondo Macabro is a cracking label.

Cold Eyes of Fear (1971)

I've always liked Enzo G Castellari as a director. His films tend to grab you immediately and keep you held until the final reel. Compared to some Italian directors he has an almost pulpy way of film making which i think always sits well in his area of film - Crime, sci-fi , westerns and horror. He never exudes that air of pretentiousness that some Italian directors have and seemingly seems to enjoy taking his viewers on a one way thrill ride.

Cold Eyes of Fear is an unconventional Giallo, stylish, but opening sequence apart never particularly sleazy, nor does it boast any over the top violence. It's a film that relies on it's taut script of blackmail and corruption and some great dialogue which is occasionally witty and often sparky with dubbing in the most horrendous English accents. This, emblazoned with a terrific Morricone score makes Cold Eyes of Fear practically unmissable viewing for the adventurous Giallo fan.
