Flies on Grey Velvet: 4
Mosche di velluto grigio. Dir. Dario Argento. This is the Midnight

overall good quality, and an excellent film, very underrated. Widescreen.
A Lizard in a Woman's Skin: Una Lucertola con la pelle di donna - Schizoid. Dir. Lucio Fulci. Fully Uncut version. Brazilian beauty Florinda Bolkan (DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING) stars as Carol Hammond, a woman fearing she has lost her mind. Despite the repeated assurance of her psychiatrist Dr. Kerr (George Rigaud), Carol finds it quite difficult to shake her recurring nightmares of perversity and horror. Things take a dramatic turn for the worse when Carol's latest nightmare- in which she stabs her disruptive, noisy hippie neighbor Julia (Anita Strindberg, a star of many giallos of this period)- becomes all too real. Carol is soon apprehended when some of her belongings (including a paper knife and a fur coat) have turned up missing, only to be found at the crime scene. But it wouldn't be a giallo if things were so simple. Contained in the increasingly complex latticework of the murder are an unfaithful husband (Jean Sorel), a murderous, psychotic hippie and an ugly case of blackmail involving a member of the Hammond family. As the investigation progresses, Carol's nightmares continue and more bodies pile up, until the true murderer is discovered. The greatest film of Fulci's Career (in my opinion) and probably one of the most important entries into the Giallo genre as a whole. Widescreen (1971)

Death Laid an Egg: La morte ha fatto l'uovo - Plucked!. Directed by Giulio Questi.

He is having an affair with a young lady, who is in turn having an affair with his wife. Needless to say murder plots abound!

Tenebrae: Titled Tenebres. Dario Argento. This is the very nice quality French DVD of Dario Argento's classic Giallo.

English language with small non-removable French subtitles, but who cares with the quality and completeness of the print. Widescreen.
Tenebrae: This is the Roan laserdisc edition and is the same as the Anchor Bay DVD. Longe than the UK Version. Widescreen.
Tuno Negro: Dark Minstrel. Dir's. Pedro L. Barbero & Vicente J. Martín. Excellent modern Giallo from Spain.

Some excellent Giallo murder scenes (watch out for the first one!) and some nice Argentoesque set-pieces and some nice gothic/secret society overtones! Excellent as well as an audience favourite at both Fantasporto 2002 and Frightfest 2002! Widescreen Subtitled (2001)
