Reflections In Black (1975)
A mysterious woman, dressed all in black, is killing beautiful women. Tano Cimarosa — usually an actor — directs this film, where we soon learn that all of the women are connected to affairs that they had with another woman, which was quite shocking in 1975. Former Miss Italia Daniela Giordano (Your Vice Is a […]
La Casa del Buon Ritorno (1986)
This 1986 late model Italian giallo — with a title that translates as The House of Good Returns — was written, directed and produced by Beppe Cino. It is the only horror movie he’s made. Twenty years ago, a young girl died here. Now, Luca and his fiancee Margit have come back, reopening old memories and […]
Screaming Mimi (1958)

However, unlike Di Leo, Dallamona stuck with […]
Domino (1988)
Let me tell you, when I read about this movie — about Brigitte Nielsen playing a music video director who is obsessed with finding love and making a movie about Billie Holiday while taking care of her jewel-covered turtle — I knew I had to track it down. It’s running on our site during giallo […]
Trauma (1993)
One of two movies that Argento directed outside of Italy — Two Evil Eyes is the other — and he chose American writer T. E. D. Klein to write the script. Instead of the familiar Rome that we’ve seen in so many giallo, we’re in Minneapolis. Tom Savini created the effects, but Argento decided to make […]
