The Spanish Princess part 2 (2020)
Based on the Philippa Gregory novels The Constant Princess and The King’s Curse and the sequel to the miniseries The White Queen and The White Princess, The Spanish Princess is about Catherine of Aragon (Charlotte Hope, Game of Thrones, The Nun), a teenaged Spanish princess — so yes, the title is telling the truth — who will soon become Queen […]
The Clairvoyant (1982)
“Beyond the five senses lies a sixth. To possess it is to see the unseen. If she sees you…you’re dead.” That’s a pretty great tagline. This is kind of a sleeper of a film. Armand Mastroianni (He Knows You’re Alone, The Supernaturals, plenty of stuff for the Hallmark Channel like their Pandemic mini-series) made this one […]
All-American Murder (1991)
You know, we probably don’t need to sell Vinegar Syndrome to you, but let us sell Vinegar Syndrome to you, who rediscovered and re-released this early 90s direct to video hybrid of the slasher and giallo and the erotic thriller and made it look better than it had any right to be. If you’re like […]
The Fish with the Eyes of Gold (1974)
You know you’re in a giallo when you wake up next to the bloody body of the woman you just slept with and your first thought is, “I need to solve this.” That said, unlike so many giallo, the killer isn’t revealed until the end. What is revealed is that he or she is obsessed […]

Something Creeping in the Dark (1971)
Qualcosa Striscia nel Buio may mean Something Crawls in the Dark, but the inexact translation of the original title is what this played in the U.S. as. A series of travelers are headed out into a foreboding evening — it was a cold, dark night — when they realize that a washed-out bridge means that they’re […]
The Killer with a Thousand Eyes (1973)
Hey, this has a giallo title, features a giallo actor in Andrew Steffen* (The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, Play Motel), fifteen murders and Juan Bosch, the director of the giallo with the most non-descript giallo title, The Killer Wore Gloves, and somehow, it’s not a full-on giallo. I mean, it has a black gloved […]
