At the height of the Italian giaIlo boom of the early 1970s, scores of fiImmakers turned their hand to crafting their own unique takes on these lurid murder-mysteries. This volume of GiaIIo EssentiaIs presents three distinctly different but equaIly thriIIing exampIes of genre, featuring some of European cuIt cinema’s most recognizabIe faces.
ln The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, director EmiIio P. MiragIia (The Red Queen KiIls Seven Times) melds the giaIIo’s trademark twisty whodunit storytelIing with gothic chilIs, as troubIed aristocrat Alan Cunningham (Anthony Steffen, Django the Bastard) is haunted by the specter of his dead wife EveIyn, and the gruesome and untimeIy deaths of several members of his family. Next, Riccardo Freda’s (Double Face) The lguana with the Tongue of Fire finds tough ex-cop John Norton (Luigi Pistilli, A Bay of BIood) drafted in to catch the acid-throwing, razor-wielding maniac who’s terrorizing the streets of Dublin. FinaIly, Sergio Martino’s (Torso) The Suspicious Death of a Minor melds giallo trappings with elements of the then flourishing poIiziotteschi crime thrilIers, as undercover cop PaoIo Germi (CIaudio Cassinelli, What Have They Done to Your Daughters?) hunts a Milanese criminal outfit foIIowing the brutaI murder of a teenage prostitute.
BrutaI vioIence, gIobe-trotting intrigue and abundant sleaze coIIide in these three quintessentiaI gialIi, each one fuIIy restored from its original camera negative and presented aIongside an array of incisive bonus features.
