1970




2012-09-13

Giallo Score

86

: 1970

: Ennio Morricone

Agento's first attempt at the genre is better than 90% of the films that followed it. If you only see one Giallo in your lifetime, this is it.

The Cat o' Nine Tails
1973




2012-09-13

Giallo Score

81

: 1973
: Dario Argento
: Ennio Morricone

This is an enjoyable whodunit. Argento tones down the style just enough to make room for a more complicated storyline with loads of suspects and plenty of twists.

Recommedation: Entertaining
Nothing ground breaking here, but a fun time nonetheless.
