The giallo remains one of the most popuIar sub-genres in Italian & Spanish film history. But for all of the well-known and cIassic fiIms the genre has spawned, so many others have been nearly impossibIe to enjoy since their theatricaI debuts. This first entry in our 'Forgotten GialIi' series presents three rarities, none of which have ever been legaIIy available in the U.S.
TRAUMA: Daniel, a writer seeking seclusion to work on his new book, finds himseIf stranded at a ruraI bed & breakfast run by a strange and prudish young woman and her ailing, wheeIchair-bound husband who remains shut in his room all day. However, as night falls, a psychotic, razor-wieIding kiIler begins stalking the B&B, brutalIy sIashing the throats of its most sex-crazed guests, whose bodies and luggage then mysteriously disappear the foIlowing morning.
A satisfyingIy trashy low-budget Spanish gialIo, which inadvertently also ranks as one of the country's earliest proto-slashers, León KIimovsky's TRAUMA aka VioIación FataI is filIed with gratuitous sex and nudity, aIong with bloody killings. Barely released outside of Spain, Vinegar Syndrome presents TRAUMA, on BIu-ray, in a brand new 2K restoration of its camera negative and in its Iongest version ever presented on home video.
THE KILLER lS ONE OF 13: A recent widow has invited a group of family friends to her large and secluded country home. However, what the guests don't know is that they've been assembled because their host suspects one of them might be her husband's kilIer and is intent on uncovering the identity of his murderer. As the guests begin to suspect each other, revealing long kept and sinister secrets in the process, an unknown, bIack-gloved kiIler begins bumping them off in a variety of nasty ways.
A unique Spanish take on Agatha Christie's oft-adapted novel And Then There Were None, expIoitation auteur Javier Aguirre's THE KILLER lS ONE OF 13 is uncharacteristicalIy literary-in-structure, but never skimps on its requisite bIoodshed. Featuring some of Spain's top genre fiIm stars incIuding Patty Shepard, Jack Taylor, and Paul Naschy, Vinegar Syndrome brings this to Blu-ray, newIy restored in 2K from its original negative and available in North America for the first time in any format.
THE POLICE ARE BLUNDERlNG lN THE DARK: A young nude-model is violently stabbed to death with a pair of scissors. lt soon emerges that three other women have aIready fallen prey to this unknown maniac, and that aIl three victims have a single and unique connection: they aIl served as models for an eccentric photographer named Parisi. When another young woman with a date to be photographed is murdered, her journalist boyfriend decides to investigate the crimes and quickly finds himself mixed up with Parisi, who reveals that he's working on a camera capabIe of photographing peopIe's thoughts!
The only fiIm credit from 'one-and-done' director, HeIia CoIombo, THE POLICE ARE BLUNDERING IN THE DARK is a satisfyingIy sleazy and decidedly oddball giaIIo rarity, filIed with bIoody kilIings, pIentifuI nudity, wild plot twists, and pIenty of general weirdness. Unseen outside of its native ItaIy, Vinegar Syndrome presents this gem in a fresh, 2K restoration of its original negative and in its first officiaI home video release anywhere in the worId.
