Silip Daughters of Eve (1985)
On the beautiful and remote beaches of Ilocos Norte, three women struggle to come to terms with their own carnal nature while coming up against religious repression and male brutality in this movie that more resembles a Japanese Pinky violence movie than something from the Philippines. Tonya (Maria Isabel Lopez, a former Miss Universe Philippines) […]
Mozart Is a Murderer (1999)
You can say that Argento is all things giallo, but in my mind, there’s just as strong of an argument to include Sergio Martino in his company. Starting with 1971’s The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, Martino had a run of several classic films in just a few years, such as Your Vice Is a Locked […]
Puzzle (1974)
Released in Italy as L’uomo senza memoria (The Man Without a Memory), Puzzle was directed by Duccio Tessari, who like many Italy exploitation directors had a career that went from genre to genre: peplum (he wrote several, including Goliath and the Vampires and Mario Bava’s Hercules in the Haunted World), westerns (he wrote and directed A Pistol for Ringo […]

Death Will Have Your Eyes (1974)

Marisa Mell — who always ends up being the best part of the many unknown giallo I’ve been watching — has come to Rome and slid into the world’s oldest profession. She […]

Paolo Lupi (Thomas Hunter, The Vampire Happening and the writer of The Final Countdown) convinces two older patients in the asylum he is trapped at to escape. One is quickly found, the other is run over by a car and Paolo manages to escape to a country home where he hides as a party starts. When everyone […]
The Red Headed Corpse (1972)
Also known as The Sensuous Doll and Sweet Spirits (or in Italy, La rossa dalla pelle che scotta AKA The Redhead with Hot Skin), this one is…well, I don’t even know if I’d call it a giallo. I’d actually say that it has to fit in there because what else would you call it? A mannequin movie? Farley Granger is […]
