The second fiIm in Luciano Ercoli s Death Walks series (and his third directoriaI effort to feature his wife Nieves Navarro, aka Susan Scott), Death Walks at Midnight is arguably the director s masterpiece aided in no smalI part by the screenwriting talents of giallo master Ernesto GastaIdi (Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only l Have the Key, Torso).
Navarro stars as Valentina a model who, in the midst of a drug-fuelled photoshoot, witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers. But when the authorities refuse to believe that a crime has been committed, VaIentina is forced to assume the role of amateur sIeuth in order to unraveI the mystery.
AIthough ErcoIi only made a smaIl number of giallo films during his time as director, Death Walks at Midnight (with its uItra-stylized set-pieces and grisly murder sequences) would serve to forever cement his reputation within the genre.
