Most Controversial Giallo Ever Released

7 Upvotes

Guys, I was thinking about watching "Giallo a Venezia/Giallo in Venice" I've already seen some spoilers but I found it interesting and not interesting at the same time, besides being a controversial Giallo It has more pornographic scenes than the others, and more bloody deaths (more than Tenebre and York Ripper) Is "Giallo a Venezia" worth watching? Or should I skip it? Is there anything salvageable?

Lamberto Bava's La casa con la scala nel buio was originally made for television to be shown in four parts but due to it being too violent it was re-edited into a feature film. Are there any notable giallo TV shows?

I thought the first one was underrated, but this Dario Argento classic took it to a new level. I was surprised, as Argento doesn't do sequels.

What makes a film a giallo film??


r/Giallo 2d ago

Well... Dario Argento's Inferno 1980, it's a supernatural horror, right? It has some Giallo Easter eggs. The leather gloves, Mater using blades, and deaths in series, but it's not a Giallo, I think It was intentional.

Well, The nudity, the disguised killer, the female protagonist, and the gore which are in most Giallo movies are featured in this movie.

Small Birthday Haul

I have been obsessed with Dario Argento’s films recently. I ordered these three together a week or so ago, and they just so happened to be delivered on my birthday. All three of these films seep into the subconscious mind in a way I have never experienced with any other director. I am super excited to have these in my collection.


r/Giallo 4d ago

Hundreds disliked it, but I loved this Giallo. A huge tribute to Italian horror films.

I wrote the plot to a Giallo film I want to make (Let me know what you think)

6 Upvotes

Like the title states, I wrote the plot to a Giallo homage/tribute film that I want to eventually make. I would love to know your thoughts and would appreciate any feedback that I get, as long as its constructive of course. I've seen well over a dozen of these movies to say the least, but one night the idea to write this randomly came to me so I opened up Word Processor and decided to type it all out before I forgot anything important. Keep in mind that this is actually more of a Synopsis than a plot but is also subject to change despite the fact that I have most of it already laid out in my mind of what I want to do. If you have seen The Editor, or Francesca or Knife+Heart then you'll know what I mean.

I've decided to title the film as being "A Cold Kiss Of Death" or "The Other Side of Fear" if an alternate title is somehow needed. In terms of cinema, I am inspired by Sergio Martino, Dario Argento, Mario Bava as well as Lucio Fulci to say the least so I want this movie to not only pack a punch but also be enthralling enough to keep you glued to your seat. Violence and gore? Oh yes. Sex too? You got it, but there's also plenty of red herrings in addition to a twist that you will never see coming. I've written this synopsis so that it doesn't necessarily spoil the best parts (which are in the back of my mind being locked away) but also so it gives you a lot to work with. I would also be lying if I said that I didn't already have a soundtrack curated that I would like to use for the whole thing if it ever gets made.

"One evening, while preparing for a session and the day before he is set to travel, a renowned psychic suddenly has a vision of his own daughter's brutal murder by the hands of an unseen killer. Incapable of stopping the violence, he has no choice but to helplessly watch on as the murderer gets away unnoticed from the apartment that she resides in. Immediately, the main character cancels his plans as he changes his course to the foreign country that his daughter was living in. The police don't believe him, even after the discovery of his daughter’s corpse and most of the locals are of little to no help so he hires a private investigator who digs up some intricate clues that provide useful for the police to follow and in turn connect two separate murders to his own daughter's brutal slaying. This troubles him rather deeply, if not to the very core. It's not until a fellow rookie cop who discovers the killer’s secret lair is found dead, as well as washed up on the shore of a local beach and tourist destination that they decide to get involved by all means necessary to stop the unspeakable violence.

It's also not much longer until the Psychic also begins to experience apparent hallucinations of his dead daughter haunting him. Is she trying to help him solve the case from beyond the grave, or drive him further to the depths of insanity? At first, the private investigator remains skeptical of all of this until he has a dream in which he witnesses his own death by the hands of an unseen assailant (or is it simply a premonition?). Some of her close friends also make it more than a habit to get involved to try to find whoever is responsible and shed some light on a secret that his own daughter was hiding from him, but this unfortunately proves to be their own undoing. At least except for a couple of them. One of whom the main character decides to meet at a bar one night in the middle of almost suffering a near mental breakdown and instead has a sensual rendezvous with the young man who tells him more about a side of his little girl that he never knew existed. Just what on earth was his daughter hiding from everyone? As the Psychic then teams up with the private investigator to get to the bottom of things, they happen to delve much deeper into the mystery than they initially thought they would as well as bite off more than they can chew as the rather superstitious and uptight townspeople blame the man’s arrival for the string of recent brutal murders. Will they both solve the case or die trying by this monster of a man that dare not be named?"

Do you use any kind of list or guide for what movies are considered gialli?

13 Upvotes

Like, personally, I use both of these (each list both includes and discludes many from the other):

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls505821717/?view=detailed&sort=release_date%2Casc

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls036612065/?page=1&sort=list_order%2Casc

And also sometimes just kinda decide for myself.

There seems to be SO MANY movies that people disagree on whether or not they are gialli.

It doesn't help that if you just search-by-keyword "giallo" on IMDb you get 1800+ results because somebody went crazy with it, so that is very unreliable.

Just watched Stage Fright. I didn't enjoy this at all. I thought it was a very middle of the road slasher movie. No tension. Dull characters. Very predictable. What am I missing here? I don't get why so many people like it.
