Damned In Venice (1978)
Ugo Liberatore’s Nero Veneziano (Venetian Black) is a strange movie. It’d be easy to just say it’s a ripoff of Rosemary’s Baby or The Omen, but it really is an odd demented little film unique to itself. Mark (Renato Cestie, who other than being in Fulci’s Challenge to White Fang and Torso, made a career of playing neglected boys who die of […]
Tulpa (2012)
I’ve often bemoaned the death of the giallo as much as I’ve worried about it’s return over the last few years. So many movies are influenced by it to the point of slavish devotion that keeps them from becoming their own unique films. Or even worse, they are more inspired by American films like Basic Instinct […]

Deep Sleep (2013)
After murdering his latest female victim, a killer is blackmailed with mysterious envelopes filled with evidence of all of his kills. However, as we hear no dialogue and only see things from the killer’s point of view, we are forced to be part of his crimes. Directed, written and scored by Luciano Onetti and produced […]
Killing of the Flesh (1983)
When the maker of The Gestapo’s Last Orgy makes a giallo, you just have to figure that it’s going to be sleazy. Seriously, this is Play Motel level sleaze, filled with victims who’d rather get drunk, have sex and avoid reality while they’re all getting killed off one after another. To make matters even sleazier, they’re […]
Double Face (1968)
Klaus Kinski starring in a Riccardo Freda movie: I’m all in. I picked this one up in a ravenous impulse-buying frenzy from the now defunct, and sorely missed, grey market auteur VSOM (Video Search of Miami), as it was the only way to get most of these Euro-Giallo gems. German Krimi films, a crime thriller […]
Drive-In Friday: Black Gloves Required
We’ve been featuring plenty of giallo, neo giallo and movies that may or may not be giallo all week long here. When trying to determine four movies that should play in a row, these fashionable murder movies make it hard. After all, so many of them have near formless plots that might confuse or bore […]
The Weekend Murders (1970)
Known in Italy as Concerto per Pistola Solista (Concert for Solo Gun), this Michele Lupo (Arizona Colt) film takes place in England instead of the Italy we’ve come to depend on for our giallo adventures. As a family comes to an estate for the reading of the will of Henry Carter, Second Earl of Vale, and get […]
Get ready for Saturday’s Drive-In Asylum Double Feature!
Are you ready for another late night of crazy movies? I sure am! Bill and I have put together a mix of ads for the films, drink recipes, facts and perhaps even a song about one or both of these movies! Up first… It’s The Dark! You’d think Film Ventures International was paying us off with all […]
