Autopsy
1975




2016-07-12

Giallo Score

76

: Autopsy
: 1975
: Armando Crispino
: Ennio Morricone

Armando Crispino's only Giallo is technically compelling but lukewarm on entertainment. With a dragging story line, forgettable characters and an uninspired soundtrack, you should examine other possibilities before checking this one off your list.

Recommedation: For Completists Only
As long as you've seen eveything else, this is worth a look.

The Pyjama Girl Case
1977




2014-10-01

Giallo Score

63

: 1977
: Flavio Mogherini
: Riz Ortolani

This slow paced Australian crime thriller offers a few inspiring scenes and a great performance by Dalila Di Lazzaro. But it shouldn't be at the top of your watch list.

Recommedation: For Completists Only
As long as you've seen eveything else, this is worth a look.

So Sweet... So Perverse
1969




2016-02-16

Giallo Score

55

: 1969
: Umberto Lenzi
: Riz Ortolani

Lenzi's follow up to Orgasmo/Paranoia and the 2nd in his "sexy thriller" series has a few inspiring moments but is generally boring and forgettable.

Recommedation: For Completists Only
As long as you've seen eveything else, this is worth a look.

Death on the Fourposter
1964




2021-12-24

Giallo Score

55

: 1964
: Jean Josipovici
: Marcello De Martino

This gothic horror inspired murder mystery is one of the earliest Gialli in the cannon and worth a look if you’re doing a deep dive of the genre.

Recommedation: For Completists Only
As long as you've seen eveything else, this is worth a look.

A Black Veil for Lisa
1968




2022-01-03

Giallo Score

52

: 1968
: Massimo Dallamano
: Gianfranco Reverberi

Massimo Dellamano's first attempt at the Giallo format is a mystery crime-thriller hybrid with a fairly complex character study, but that ultimately falls victim to slow pacing in the second half.

Recommedation: For Completists Only
As long as you've seen eveything else, this is worth a look.
