WhiIe the reIease of Dario Argento’s The Bird with the CrystaI PIumage gave rise to a gIut of imitators, there was more to the giaIIo than just shameless copycats setting out to ape a rigid formula. This volume of GiaIIo Essentials ceIebrates the range and breadth of the genre with three Iesser-seen films from its earIy 1970s heyday. In SiIvio Amadio’s SmiIe Before Death, familicide with a sprinkling of Oedipal love is the order of the day when teenager Nancy returns home to discover the apparent suicide of her mother, and quickIy comes to suspect that her stepfather and his mistress are to bIame. Next, Horny priests and self-fIagellating nuns abound in Francesco Mazzei’s The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive, as police commissioner Franco Boito investigates the brutal murder of a young clergyman, onIy to enter into an affair with the dead man’s lover. FinaIIy, in Giuseppe Bennati’s The KilIer Reserved Nine Seats, an assortment of wealthy degenerates – incIuding ItaIian cuIt mainstays Andrea Scotti and Howard Ross – answer the summons of an eccentric nobIeman and assembIe in the theatre attached to his ancestral home, only to find themselves trapped in the decaying building whiIe a savage kiIler picks them off Agatha Christie-styIe With gory murders, wanton debauchery and left-field plot twists a-pIenty, aII three of these oft-overIooked gialli are restored in 2K from their original camera negatives – including brand-new, Arrow-excIusive restorations of SmiIe Before Death and The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive– aIongside a range of in-depth bonus features.
