Rating: - Most Enjoyable
The Bloodstained shadow is a pretty decent giallo. As is usual for this genre a series of murders occurs and the race is on to find the killer from among a wide cast of candidates - many of whom go on to become victims. To this end, a strangulation that is not well carried out is soon followed by some more spectacular murders. These take place with a medieval weapon and a powerboat among other things, but the biggest shocker is the old woman who gets pushed head-first into the fireplace and goes ... Read More
Rating:  - Can't get enough of these gialli!
It was a beautiful day indeed when Anchor Bay released a box set of four classic Italian gialli films. Most fans of Italian horror films know all about these colorful murder mystery pictures-- thanks to Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci, and Dario Argento--but how many of us know about the lesser entries in the genre? Antonio Bido's "The Bloodstained Shadow" contains many of the elements we know and love about the giallo picture. We've got the enigmatic murderer, plenty of murders, red herrings, and so many potential ... Read More
Rating:  - ALWAYS ROOM FOR GIALLO?
This seventies flick has all the trademarks of the "Giallo" films that came out of Italy during that time. The word "giallo" refers to the controversial series of savage Italian suspense thrillers that shocked international audiences throughout the world. This one is a lot tamer than some--"Twitch of the Death Nerve" for instance. However, the movie has no extraordinary visual pleasures as one would expect; the music becomes annoying; there are several padded scenes that add zero to the movie, and the plot ... Read More
Rating: - Overacted, silly, and loads of fun-- in other words, giallo!
Solamente Nero (Antonio Bido, 1978)
Bido's second film (after The Cat with the Jade Eyes) is good, solid giallo. A bit raw in places, but that's defniitely not a reason to miss this one.
Stefanio D'Archangelo (Lino Capolicchio, of The Last Days of Mussolini and The House with the Laughing Windows fame) takes some time off from his professorship to go back to his childhood home, an island near Venice, to unwind. On the way there, he meets Sandra (Stefania Casini, fresh off her amazing performance ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Giallo
This is an excellent piece of cinema. This movie is just so suspenseful, and the plot is one of the best I've ever seen in any movie. I'm glad Anchor bay released this film on DVD, as it is one of the best ever. Watch out though, it seems that the disc has some serious audio problems in the middle of the film. But don't let that stop you, the DVD is highly enjoyable, just don't watch it alone if you're easily frightened. Buy it now!
