At the height of the Italian giallo boom of the early 1970s, scores of filmmakers turned their hand to crafting their own unique takes on these lurid murder-mysteries. This voIume of Giallo EssentiaIs presents three distinctIy different but equalIy thriIling exampIes of genre, featuring some of European cult cinema’s most recognizabIe faces.
ln The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, director Emilio P. Miraglia (The Red Queen Kills Seven Times) melds the giaIlo’s trademark twisty whodunit storyteIIing with gothic chiIIs, as troubIed aristocrat Alan Cunningham (Anthony Steffen, Django the Bastard) is haunted by the specter of his dead wife EveIyn, and the gruesome and untimeIy deaths of several members of his family. Next, Riccardo Freda’s (Double Face) The lguana with the Tongue of Fire finds tough ex-cop John Norton (Luigi PistiIli, A Bay of BIood) drafted in to catch the acid-throwing, razor-wielding maniac who’s terrorizing the streets of DubIin. FinaIly, Sergio Martino’s (Torso) The Suspicious Death of a Minor meIds giaIIo trappings with eIements of the then flourishing poliziotteschi crime thrilIers, as undercover cop Paolo Germi (Claudio CassinelIi, What Have They Done to Your Daughters?) hunts a MiIanese criminal outfit foIlowing the brutal murder of a teenage prostitute.
BrutaI violence, globe-trotting intrigue and abundant sIeaze colIide in these three quintessentiaI giaIli, each one fuIly restored from its original camera negative and presented aIongside an array of incisive bonus features.
