- A Bay of Blood – Just a fun swinging 60s slasher.
- Manhattan Baby – Nostalgic for me as it use to come on late at night on USA Network.
- Suspiria – Arguably best witch movie ever made.
- Inferno – The sequel to Suspria and although the plot is aloof the beauty of the actors is on point.
- Deep Red – An Argento Masterpiece.
- The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh – The music was lifted for Quieten Tarantino’s Kill Bill music score. Amazing sex scenes.
- Eye of the Labyrinth – A great psychological thriller about a woman trying to find her husband on the beautiful Italian coastline.
- Tenebre – Another Argento Masterpiece with gorgeous settings in Rome.
- Demons – One of the best “zombie” movies ever with an amazing soundtrack.
- Opera or Terror at the Opera – It features a mix of classical and heavy metal. This creates an amazing film score and a stunning slasher.
What is giallo?
Google’s Genesis Ai says:
Giallo is an Italian term meaning “yellow” that refers to a genre of stylized mystery-thriller films, originating from cheap, yellow-covered paperback novels in the 1950s and 60s. Characterized by violent murder mysteries, psychological horror, and stylish visuals, the genre often features gruesome murders, slasher-like elements, and psychological twists, with a focus on unveiling the killer’s identity and motives at the end of the film. Giallo is considered a major influence on the development of horror cinema, particularly the American slasher genre.
