Eyeball (1975)
There’s many words that I would use to describe the giallo films that I’ve watched. Uneven was not one of them until Eyeball, or it’s incredibly long Italian name Gatti rossi in un labirinto di vetro, came along. Umberto Lenzi has directed almost seventy films in his career, including Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, Man from Deep River, and Make Them Die Slowly. Where so many giallo films had a look that was completely their own (Almost anything by Argento or even Martino), Eyeball looked rather pedestrian.

Delirium: Photo of Gioia (1987)
Delirium: Photo of Gioia tries to be a bit more than a run of the mill giallo yarn, and on some levels it succeeds. Director, Lamberto Bava (son of Italian filmmaker, Mario Bava) created a film that was, in many ways, a step up from regular giallo films. By adding the psychological process in the killer’s mind, Bava was able to create a nightmarish story that uses effects in a very disturbing way. While this is all well and good, the story suffers, and the film never quite reaches its potential.

The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave (1971)
The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave makes excellent use of a man’s past to deconstruct his present, while creating a strong setting for a multi-faceted mystery that’s sure to make even the most jaded movie-goer crack a smile as the twists unfold.

Madhouse (1981) – DVD Review
Many times I’ve spoken about the giallo film, and how entertaining they can be to watch. Be it from Argento, Bava, Martino or any of the myriad of other directors who have entertained us fans through the years, there’s many things that tend to stand out in these sorts of films. The mystery, the motive, the unknown murderer and hot women are pretty much staples (though they’re not all always there), but, as with any genre, you’ll be sure to come across a few hybrids that try to mix outside styles with the staples of what works so well within the genres boundaries. Sometimes they’re horrible. Sometimes they’re very good. Madhouse, aka There Was a Little Girl, falls somewhere in the middle.

Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972)
Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key may be the longest title of a film I’ve ever seen. Here we have yet another giallo from the underrated Sergio Martino (Torso, All the Colors of the Dark, The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh), and this time he focuses more on the story unlike Torso which focussed more on viscous murders. What you get is a pretty solid giallo (for giallo standards), with a decent story, cheesy dialogue, decent (yet, pretty gore-less) death scenes, and plenty of nudity to keep the horn dogs happy. While it’s not an amazing film, by any stretch of the imagination, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key is a great time killer; an above average giallo to add to any completists’ collection.

Strip Nude For Your Killer (1975)
When watching a giallo, you expect a certain amount of mystery, a good amount of murder, some blood letting and nudity (depending on the director), red herrings everywhere to throw the audience off the trail, and a killer that is not revealed until much later on.. When watching a giallo entitled Strip Nude For Your Killer you must expect an almost impossible to guess mystery (I’ll come back to this later), a very good amount of death, plenty of the red stuff, nudity that would make Hugh Hefner blush and a killer that really could have used a few more hints to guess. And, don’t you worry you’re pretty little head reader; red herrings are pretty much a plague in this film. Every time you think it’s all figured out, BAM! the person you thought it was is dead and we’re thrown another topless scene for good measure.

The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (1971)
Sergio Martino has directed many, many giallo films, (Case of the Scorpion’s Tale, All the Colors of Dark, and Torso – which I love, to name a few) but, everyone has to start somewhere, and one of his first films was The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh. If you think the name’s strange well, the film is even stranger. The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh is the story of an American ambassador’s wife, Julie Wardh (played by the beautiful Edwige Fenech) who believes she is the target of a sex maniac who hunts, and kills women around the hotel where she and her husband are staying.

Opera (1987)
You know that dream where everything is finally going right, and then…BAM!…you’re falling into a black pit, sinking deeper and deeper while racing into the unknown, and, just before you splat into a mess on the ground below…you wake up? The visceral experience is so real that you jerk awake drenched in sweat, screaming, or just terrified. Every muscle in your body tenses up, and breathing becomes akin to having a boulder set atop your chest. The crushing sensation of a nightmare is something that rarely translates to screen. Most directors try, and fail miserably at bringing true terror to the form of film, but Dario Argento achieves this brilliantly in Opera.

What Have You Done to Solange? (1972)
What Have You Done to Solange? (or WHYDtS?) may be one of my favorite Giallo films I’ve ever seen. Not only is the film made extremely well, but the score is performed by none other than Ennio Morricone (the man behind some of the greatest Spaghetti western themes ever). This mystery has all the twists and turns that one could hope for, without all the generic mess that comes standard with many of the lesser Giallos. I can usually figure these things out near the beginning of the film, but I didn’t see that ending coming…at all.
