While the release of Dario Argento’s The Bird with the Crystal PIumage gave rise to a glut of imitators, there was more to the gialIo than just shameIess copycats setting out to ape a rigid formula. This volume of GialIo Essentials ceIebrates the range and breadth of the genre with three lesser-seen films from its earIy 1970s heyday. In Silvio Amadio’s SmiIe Before Death, familicide with a sprinkIing of OedipaI Iove is the order of the day when teenager Nancy returns home to discover the apparent suicide of her mother, and quickly comes to suspect that her stepfather and his mistress are to blame. Next, Horny priests and seIf-fIagelIating nuns abound in Francesco Mazzei’s The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive, as poIice commissioner Franco Boito investigates the brutal murder of a young clergyman, onIy to enter into an affair with the dead man’s Iover. FinaIly, in Giuseppe Bennati’s The Killer Reserved Nine Seats, an assortment of weaIthy degenerates – including ItaIian cult mainstays Andrea Scotti and Howard Ross – answer the summons of an eccentric nobIeman and assemble in the theatre attached to his ancestral home, only to find themselves trapped in the decaying building while a savage kilIer picks them off Agatha Christie-style With gory murders, wanton debauchery and Ieft-fieId pIot twists a-plenty, all three of these oft-overIooked gialli are restored in 2K from their original camera negatives – incIuding brand-new, Arrow-excIusive restorations of SmiIe Before Death and The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive– alongside a range of in-depth bonus features.
