	RE: Umberto Lenzi's gialli 3 Replies
I love Lenzi's gialli offerings, or at least the one's I have experiences! I still need to see KNIFE OF ICE and A QUIET PLACE TO KILL. SPASMO and EYEBALL are some of my more favorite gialli viewings. Two very stylish yet, odd in nature but still very effective in the payoff! It's been a long time since I first seen his SO SWEET... SO PERVERSE (1969), was that not just recently issued on DVD again??

I absolutely loved Freda's brilliant I VAMPRI! Now, what was the deal with Bava being uncredited for with this again? I know he had something to do with the overall direction, but what's the full story on that again?

	BAD INCLINATION (2003) 1 Replies
Any opinions about this more recent giallo? I've heard some bad things but when I found it dirt cheap on eBay, I couldn't resist the temptation of picking it up. Figured I need to give some of the more recent horrer/thriller stuff a chance too. Still waiting for it to arrive and I'm not quite sure what to expect of it but at least it has a pretty good cast that includes famous transsexual Eva Robins from TENEBRAE (1982) and the good-looking Elisabetta Rocchietti, who has been cropping up in a lot of horror stuff like THE THREE FACES OF TERROR (2004), DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK? (2005) and THE LAST HOUSE IN THE WOODS (2006). Not to mention supporting roles by Florinda Bolkan and Franco Nero! Anyone here seen it?

Interesting looking film out of Italy with Irish/Spanish co-financiers. Directed by Italian SFX man Stefano Bessoni. In the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images. He discovered that by killing a victim and removing the victim's eyeballs, it was possible to reproduce on paper the last image imprinted on that person's retinas. He named this technique 'thanatography'. Today, the same kind of gruesome ritual and abominable crime recurs within the walls of an international school of cinema. -imdb.com Also stars the daughter of Charlie Chapman, Geraldine Chaplin as well as her daughter Oona.

Well, it seems this is yet another Argento flick that is taking a beating in the review department. Even die hard fans are not too pleased with this outing. Anyhow, the PAL R2 DVD is now out via a Polish company that found it important to force the Polish subs!

Looks like this will be getting a UK release first via Arrow Films! I still haven't seen this, it was on my radar during last year's Midnight Madness during the Toronto Film Fest. The disc will be released March 15th..

I'd love to grab this, but for now I'm holding off on the Blu-Ray player for now, too unstable industry right now. Plus, the multi-region player are way too expensive!

Is Giovanni Lombardo Radice no longer lined up for this or was that just a rumor all along?

I love the title! Very gialloesque.

RE: DARKNESS SURROUNDS ROBERTA (2007)

Well, I just asked Joe about Giovanni's supposive involvement with this project..this is what he said.

Nope. Sorry, we only have Giovanni PIanigiani. Not sure how that rumor got started

Strange as I could have sworn he was the one who told/mentioned it too us?

RE: DARKNESS SURROUNDS ROBERTA (2007)

Oh dear!!

At first I thought this sounded promising. It certainly has a great giallo title and looked intriguing on paper.

However, this teaser really didn't impress me. It looked pretty cheap, and not in a good way. The music is not too bad but the rest looked somewhat amateurish to me. It's a pretty short clip, though, so I could well be wrong. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...
