The Severed Arm (1973)
A few years in the past, Jeff Ashton (David G. Cannon), Doctor Ray Sanders (John Crawford), “Mad Man” Herman (Marvin Kaplan) and Ted Rogers (Ray Dannis), among others, were caught in a cave-in. With the prospect of survival seeming zero, they agreed — well, everyone except the victim — to cut off Ted’s arm and […]
Virgin Witch (1971)
Christine and Betty (Ann and Vicki Michelle, who are real-life sisters; Elke Sommer was their au pair as they grew up) are runaways who want to be models. Christine is soon hired by an agent, Sybil Waite (Patricia Haines) but as you can tell, this isn’t a movie about modeling. It’s about the occult and the […]
Les trottoirs de Bangkok (1984)
The Streets of Bangkok is based on the Boris Karloff film The Mask of Fu Manchu and it finds Jean Rollin not on a beach or a falling to pieces mansion with vampires living inside clocks, but instead a comic book mystery. Don’t worry. He didn’t forget to have naked women in it. Secret agent […]
La Nuit de la Mort (1980)
I discovered this movie from Unsung Horrors, who said that it was “Somewhere in between Jean Rollin and Ogroff.” How could I not want to see this? Martine (Isabelle Goguey) has just left her boyfriend and taken on a live-in job as a nurse and housekeeper for a retirement home. Is it weird that it’s […]
Blown Away (1993)
I watched this on basic cable at my parent’s house with my brother once and I was so shocked that the Coreys would be in an erotic thriller. Since then, I have watched so many giallo movies and am even more shocked that two of America’s teen idols — fallen on rough times, mind you […]
RADIANCE FILMS BLU RAY RELEASE: Slap the Monster on Page One (1972)
So this is kind of cheating, because Sbatti il mostro in prima pagina is more a drama or crime movie than a giallo, but it has enough elements of the form to warrant being included in the company of black gloved killers. Il Giornale is a newspaper that may remind you of some other media sources in […]

WELL GO USA BLU RAY RELEASE: Last Stop In Yuma County (2023)
The first movie from director and writer Francis Galluppi who comes right out of the gate with a movie that uses one location — a truck stop where everyone’s waiting for a tanker truck to fill up the gas pumps — and sets the tension on high and just lets everything boil. The Knife Salesman […]
