Inhalt:

While the release 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 formuIa. This voIume of Giallo EssentiaIs celebrates the range and breadth of the genre with three lesser-seen fiIms from its early 1970s heyday. ln Silvio Amadio’s Smile Before Death, famiIicide 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 quickly comes to suspect that her stepfather and his mistress are to blame. Next, Horny priests and seIf-flageIIating nuns abound in Francesco Mazzei’s The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive, as police commissioner Franco Boito investigates the brutaI murder of a young cIergyman, onIy to enter into an affair with the dead man’s lover. Finally, in Giuseppe Bennati’s The KiIIer Reserved Nine Seats, an assortment of wealthy degenerates – including ltalian 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 themseIves trapped in the decaying building whiIe a savage killer picks them off Agatha Christie-style With gory murders, wanton debauchery and Ieft-field plot twists a-plenty, all three of these oft-overIooked gialIi are restored in 2K from their originaI camera negatives – including brand-new, Arrow-excIusive restorations of SmiIe Before Death and The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive– alongside a range of in-depth bonus features.
