- DirectorLucio FulciStarsFlorinda BolkanStanley BakerJean SorelThe potentially unhinged daughter of a British politician is accused of killing her hedonistic neighbor after she witnesses the murder in a dream.Lucio Fulci's masterpiece. Trippy and psychedelic. Well acted and beautifully shot. Featuring yet another super Ennio Morricone score. This is one of the best gialli ever made. Highly recommended.
- DirectorLuigi BazzoniMario FanelliStarsFlorinda BolkanPeter McEneryNicoletta ElmiAfter being tormented by dreams about astronauts on the moon, a translator visits a deserted seaside town whose inhabitants know her, although she does not know them.Genuine odd-ball thriller about a woman who experiences strange dreams of a mysterious lunar landing. Stars the always reliable Florinda Bolkan.
- DirectorAntonio BidoStarsLino CapolicchioStefania CasiniCraig HillThe body of a schoolgirl is found in a meadow. The murderer is never caught, and years later, a young man named Stefano returns to the island and is reunited with his brother, the local priest.A very good late 70's Venice set giallo from Antonio Bido. Slightly more serious in tone than most but still serves up the requisite thrills.
- DirectorGiulio QuestiStarsGina LollobrigidaJean-Louis TrintignantEwa AulinThe depraved manager of a high-tech poultry factory is pulled into a love triangle with his domineering wife and her sexually-liberated cousin, leading to double-crosses and murder.Ultra-weird new wave influenced oddity about...an experimental chicken farm. More Godard than Bava. It mixes surrealism and pop art in with a thriller narrative, with a persistent score to boot. Truly weird.
- DirectorMassimo DallamanoStarsFabio TestiKarin BaalCristina GalbóA teacher who is having an affair with one of his students is reluctant to present an alibi when his lover witnesses the first in a series of murders connected to their school.One of the most highly regarded entries in the genre with good reason. It has a great, compelling mystery and agreeably salacious undertones. And with a top notch Morricone soundtrack, what's not to like?
- DirectorAntonio BidoStarsCorrado PaniPaola TedescoFranco CittiA pharmacist is murdered, and a woman happens to see the culprit leave the scene. She soon finds herself being stalked by the killer, and when her boyfriend tries to discover who the murderer is and stop him, he begins to find out that there is much more to the murder than the ordinary killing it first appeared to be.Clearly influenced by Deep Red, this late 70's giallo has some effective moments. Including a cool Goblinesque score by a band called Trans Europa Express.
- DirectorLamberto BavaStarsSerena GrandiDaria NicolodiVanni CorbelliniModels working for a nude magazine are being killed gruesomely. The murderer stages and photographs the victims' corpses, submitting the images for publication.An absurd but very fun effort, with a highly memorable appearance from the one and only Sabrina Salerno. Daft but endearing erotic thriller.
- DirectorAldo LadoStarsIngrid ThulinJean SorelMario AdorfAn American journalist temporarily stationed in Central Europe searches for his new girlfriend, who has suddenly disappeared.Prague set giallo with a unique cold, Iron Curtain ambiance. It somewhat uniquely tells the story from the recollections of a mysteriously paralysed man. Much more original than most in the genre.
- DirectorSergio MartinoStarsEdwige FenechAnita StrindbergLuigi PistilliA string of murders are committed near the estate of a degenerate author, whose abusive relationship with his wife is further complicated by the arrival of his manipulative niece.This giallo is typified by being based on the Edgar Allan Poe story The Black Cat. Its also got possibly the craziest title in the genre, and that is really saying something.
- DirectorMario CaianoStarsRosemary DexterAdolfo CeliHorst FrankA woman searches for her missing lover, a psychiatrist who has suddenly vanished for no apparent reason. She ends up at a villa populated by a group of eccentric individuals. A string of murders commences immediately.A laid-back giallo with an interesting jazz-fusion soundtrack. Plays out similar to an Agatha Christie whodunnit, with its cast of characters all under suspicion of killing the very unsympathic murder victim. Look out too for the appearance of a very young Sybil Danning.
- DirectorPhilippe LabroStarsJean-Louis TrintignantDominique SandaSacha DistelA strange series of murders are being committed in Nice on the French riviera. The commissionaire Carella is in charge and tries desperately to find a missing link between all of these murders.An assassin is picking people off in Nice. The broody Jean-Louis Tritignant is tasked with solving the mystery.
- DirectorDuccio TessariStarsHelmut BergerGiancarlo SbragiaIda GalliA popular television presenter is accused of killing a teenage girl in a park, who happens to be his daughter's best friend.A giallo with the emphasis on the mystery, not the murders. The police procedural and the court case takes a more prominent role here, in a more sober entry in the genre.
- DirectorUmberto LenziStarsAntonio SabatoUschi GlasPier Paolo CapponiA fashion designer's wife is targeted by a mysterious assailant, along with six other women who used to work for her when she owned a hotel resort, over something that supposedly happened two years ago.This Umberto Lenzi picture is a perfect example of a textbook early 70's giallo. It's brutal, sleazy and silly. But also nicely photographed and scored, with some effective suspense scenes to boot.
- DirectorRomolo GuerrieriStarsEwa AulinJean SorelLucia BosèA man is shot in an underground car-park by a mysterious bearded man. As he dies he recollects the events that led him to this situation, including adulterous liaisons and jealous envy.Dreamy and breezy thriller. Edited together in a non-chronological way. Benefits from the presence of the ludicrously cute Ewa Aulin.
- DirectorSilvio AmadioStarsFarley GrangerBarbara BouchetRosalba NeriThe secretary of a writer and his wife investigates the disappearance of her lover - their previous secretary - and finds herself the target of the couple's erotic desires and a murder plot.Barbara Bouchet and Rosalba Nero melt the screen in one of the all time erotic classics of the genre.
- DirectorHélène CattetBruno ForzaniStarsCassandra ForêtCharlotte Eugène GuibeaudMarie BosAs a young girl Ana was a rebellious child. She was also tormented by images of death and a shadowy, ominous figure in black. Now an adult, she is once again tormented by shadowy, other-worldly forms.Part giallo homage, part avant-garde experimental movie. This is a very artistic exercise. Structured in three distinct parts, two of which derive lots from Italian thrillers/horrors.
- DirectorPaolo CavaraStarsCorinne CléryMichele PlacidoQuinto ParmeggianiA man is strangled by a female prostitute in his home at the same time as a woman is killed by a man with a spanner on an empty bus. In both cases the killer leaves an illustration from the children's book titled 'Shockheaded Peter'. The subsequent investigation leads to an exclusive club called Wildlife's Friends.Unusually, this giallo includes some paranoid Watergate inspired politics. It also has more typical elements too though - a group of unsympathetic suspects and sex-parties. Also includes an excerpt from a strange wild looking erotic cartoon, I have no idea what it was though.
- DirectorUmberto LenziStarsRobert HoffmannSuzy KendallIvan RassimovYoung couple interrupted during intimacy by disturbing discovery of a mutilated mannequin at beach ruins. Mysterious man present flees before being questioned, leaving couple unsettled and the night's events unresolved.Crazy title, less extreme film. Yet still an enjoyable Umberto Lenzi offering.
- DirectorAlberto NegrinStarsFabio TestiChristine KaufmannIvan DesnyA detective investigating the murder of a teenage girl begins to focus his suspicions on the three girlfriends of the victim, who call themselves "The Inseparables."The third and final entry in the school-girl giallo trilogy started with Solange and continued with What Have They Done to Your Daughters. This is the least of the three but still very good.
- DirectorRiccardo FredaStarsStefano PatriziMartine BrochardHenri GarcinA scandal from Michael's past emerges when he visits his mother's house with the director and others from a recent film project.Decent hybrid of the American slasher and the Italian horror film. This was Riccardo Fredda's final film.
- DirectorLuigi ComenciniStarsMarcello MastroianniJacqueline BissetJean-Louis TrintignantThe investigation of the murder of ambiguous architect Garrone takes Police Commissioner Santamaria to the Turinese high society, but the results are unclear. In the meanwhile, another murder takes place.A compelling mystery with some very bizarre moments. Marcello Mastroianni in a room full of giant dildos anyone?
- DirectorSergio PastoreStarsAnthony SteffenSylva KoscinaGiovanna LenziA blind pianist overhears a conversation in a nightclub, and is determined to figure out who is responsible for a string of strange murders involving a black cat.The winner of the giallo with the most insane murder method ever. I'll leave it at that and allow you to experience that particular eccentricity all on your own.
- DirectorAntonio MargheritiStarsMark DamonEleonora BrownSally SmithAfter a mysterious trunk arrives at a prestigious girl's boarding school, its staff and students - including an orphaned heiress and an amateur sleuth - are targeted by a shadowy murderer.Despite the lurid title, this is a giallo with a lighter tone than usual.
- DirectorAntonio MargheritiStarsJane BirkinHiram KellerFrançoise ChristopheSomeone is killing the residents of an old castle, which is haunted by a legend involving vampirism.Derivative in some ways, unusual in others. There are seven murders and the cat sees all. Unusual for its Scotttish setting.
- DirectorRenato PolselliStarsMickey HargitayRita CalderoniRaul LovecchioA respected psychologist who regularly works with the police becomes a suspect in a series of gruesome murders of young women.Crazed and depraved trash-fest about a psychopath called Herbert. Very violent and kinky. Good music. Bizarre dialogue - 'I am a hyena!!!'. They don't make 'em like this any more that's for sure.
