The Killer Is Still Among Us (1986)
Also known as Florence! The Killer is Still Among Us and The Killer Has Returned, you have to admire the chutzpah — or the gall — of a film to have the disclaimer “This film was made as a warning to young people and with the hope that it will be of use to law enforcement […]
Abrakadabra (2018)
Thirty years after his father The Great Dante was killed during a magic trick gone wrong, Lorenzo is now being accused of a series of murders that all have magical themes as he struggles to present the biggest show of his career. This is the third film in the Onetti Brothers’ Giallo Trilogy, following Francesca and Sonno […]
Nothing Underneath (1985)
I really like 1988’s Too Beautiful to Die, a movie that was sold as a sequel to this movie. Perhaps it’s better that I watched that first, because while I like the premise of this movie, the execution leaves something to be desired. That’s a shame, because it really sets up something great. A serial killer […]
Seven Deaths in the Cat’s Eye (1973)
The divine Mr. Anthony M. Dawson, aka Antonio Margheriti, is back with his third giallo flick (this one’s an Italian-French-West German co-production), the others being (the previously reviewed) Nude, She Dies, and 1971’s Web of the Spider (but discriminating gialli connoisseurs will argue that’s more of a straight horror film because it’s color remake of […]
Fashion Crimes (1989)
Anthony Franciosa is a welcome presence at the start of this film, playing a detective who is able to quickly make major leaps in deductive reasoning. However, if you are expecting a film on the level of another he starred in, Argento’s Tenebre, I must sadly tell you that this is not that movie. If you’re […]
Fatal Frames (1996)
Fatal Frames feels like the most 80’s movie I’ve ever seen, yet it was made in 1996. It’s also the longer giallo I think I’ve ever seen, taking nearly two hours of meandering to get to anything worthwhile, throwing in red herring after red herring, including turns by David Warbeck as a cop, Angus Scrimm […]
Trauma (1978)
This isn’t Red Rings of Fear, a 1978 Fabio Testi movie that is also a giallo-type film. Not is it the 1993 Dario Argento movie. Instead, it’s a Spanish film directed by Leon Klimovsky (The Vampires Night Orgy, The People Who Own the Dark). This is all about a gorgeous inn in the country that seems like the […]
