The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972)

Director: Emilio Miraglia

Review of ‘Tropic of Cancer’ (1972) ★★ Giallo January had to deliver me a dog at some point this year and woof, here we go. I appreciate the attempt by writer Anthony Steffen to do something different here; Tropic of Cancer sets the…

Great change of setting from the typical giallo, but unforgivably dull. My ★★ review of Tropic of Cancer (1972) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/cuuAI5 #TropicOfCancer #Giallo #GialloJanuary #Horrorsky #Filmsky #Letterboxd

Review of ‘Who Saw Her Die?’ (1972) ★★★ As unfair as it is, Who Saw Her Die? suffers from comparison to the far superior Don't Look Now. Not that it's a bad thing to be lesser to that stone cold classic of a grief-based thriller; the bar…

It has the unfortunate status of being the lesser Venice-set thriller about a child's death from the early 1970s. My ★★★ review of Who Saw Her Die? (1972) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/ctenjF #WhoSawHerDie #Giallo #GialloJanuary #Horrorsky #Filmsky #Letterboxd

Review of ‘Dark Glasses’ (2022) ★★★½ I remember hearing word that Dark Glasses was another misstep for Dario Argento, but I rather enjoyed it. Let's not get it twisted; in no way does this rank near the best of Argento's filmography.…

A surprisingly good late-stage Argento film, one that thankfully means Dracula 3D won't never his last film. My ★★★½ review of Dark Glasses (2022) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/cs2prD #DarkGlasses #Giallo #GialloJanuary #Letterboxd #Horrorsky #DarioArgento #Filmsky

Review of ‘What Have They Done to Your Daughters?’ (1974) ★★★½ My first Giallo January watch, Naked You Die, took it easy on the sleaze. My second, What Have They Done to Your Daughters?, had enough for both films combined. Massimo Dallamano's mystery film is…

Sleazy as fuck in that enjoyable giallo way and deeply pessimistic, with a little bit more under the hood to give it some surprising depth. My ★★★½ review of What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974) on @letterboxd.social: https://boxd.it/crrain #Horrorsky #GialloJanuary #Giallo #Filmsky

Review of ‘Naked You Die’ (1968) ★★★ There's not a lot of nakedness in Naked You Die, Antonio Margheriti's 1968 giallo. But frankly, I'm more than okay with that. (I prefer the US title The Young, the Evil and the Savage anyway.)…

Not the greatest of giallos, but it's generally solid across the board. My ★★★ review of Naked You Die (1968) on @letterboxd.social: letterboxd.com/jthom... #NakedYouDie #GialloJanuary #Horrorsky #Filmsky #Letterboxd

Italian movie poster for the 1973 giallo film Torso

I was aiming for 10 films during Giallo January but only found time for 8, so I finished up with a re-watch of Sergio Martino's Torso. It's one of my favorites, it just needs a longer crazier giallo-esque title.

Movie poster from the blu-ray release of Dario Argento's The Stendhal Syndrom

Giallo January film #6 for the year: The Stendhal Syndrome. Dario Argento crosses a giallo with an American-style 1990s thriller.

Review of ‘Don't Torture a Duckling’ (1972) ★★★★ There's a good reason that Luci Fulci's Don’t Torture a Duckling is considered one of the highwater marks of giallo. This film takes a while for its investigation plot to gain traction, but Fulci is…

An absolute all-timer of a giallo, even among by Lucio Fulci standards. My ★★★★ review of Don't Torture a Duckling (1972) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8C2h0H #GialloJanuary #Giallo #Horror #LucioFulci #Letterboxd #FIlmsky #Horrorsky

Review of ‘The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave’ (1971) ★★½ It wouldn't be fair to call The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave a bad movie. As giallos go, it's a perfectly acceptable film that generally gives you want you're going to want from the genre --…

No film with a title and poster as good as this one should feel this rote. My ★★½ review of The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave (1971) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8toANL #GialloJanuary #Giallo #Horror #Letterboxd #Horrorsky #Filmsky

Review of ‘The Possessed’ (1965) ★★★½ The second of my Luigi Bazzoni double shot, The Possessed is a black and white visual treat of a film. Bazzoni makes a meal out of a story where there’s not much there. Ironically, while The Fifth…

A sort of mix between giallo and noir, which makes it fully my jam. My ★★★½ review of The Possessed (1965) on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8qXXtd #GialloJanuary #Giallo #ThePossessed #Horror #Letterboxd #Filmsky #Horrorsky

Review of ‘The Fifth Cord’ (1971) ★★★½ The Fifth Cord is one of two Luigi Bazzoni giallos that I saw for Giallo January, and it just so happens I ended up watching them one after the other on the same day. Between the two, this is my…

10 gallons of plot in a 5 gallon hat, but it's a fun story and Franco Nero is fantastic. My ★★★½ review of The Fifth Cord (1971) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8qK7QX #GialloJanuary #Giallo #Horror #TheFifthCord #Letterboxd #Filmsky #Horrorsky

Review of ‘The Stendhal Syndrome’ (1996) ★★½ The Stendhal Syndrome starts in classic Dario Argento style and ends strong, but it’s a bit of a slog in between. Asia Argento is decent enough as Anna, a police officer who becomes a victim of the…

It shouldn't annoy me this much that Stendhal Syndrome doesn't play much of a factor in the plot, but it does. My ★★½ review of The Stendhal Syndrome (1996) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8DtSgl #GialloJanuary #Giallo #StendhalSyndrome #Horror #Letterboxd #Filmsky #Horrorsky

Movie poster for the 1965 sort-of giallo film A Quiet Place in the Country

My sixth Giallo January watch for 2025: Elio Petri's A Quiet Place in the Country

Is Franco Nero crazy or is he living with a horny ghost?

Review of ‘The Killer Reserved Nine Seats’ (1974) ★★★½ What a fun little film. The Killer Reserved Nine Seats combines the supernatural giallo with a And Then There Were None element within a single location, and I was here for it. It’s a bit clumsy in…

An enjoyable little supernatural giallo with unsurprisingly strong Agatha Christie vibes. My ★★★½ review of The Killer Reserved Nine Seats (1974) on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8y6oXj #GialloJanuary #Giallo #Horrorsky #Filmsky #Letterboxd

Review of ‘Death Walks at Midnight’ (1972) ★★★½ Luciano Ercoli's Death Walks At Midnight is my kind of giallo. I enjoyed his similarly-titled Death Walks On High Heels as well, but this is a more cohesive film that makes better use of Nieves…

It's goofy but it knows that and has fun with it, and Nieves Navarro is a joy to watch as always. #GialloJanuary #Giallo #Letterboxd #Filmsky #Horrorsky My ★★★½ review of Death Walks at Midnight (1972) on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8xADa3

Review of ‘Strip Nude for Your Killer’ (1975) ★★ Strip Nude for Your Killer completely wastes both Edwige Fenech and a decent premise with a lackluster script, uninspired characters and a killer reveal that comes out of nowhere. I'm always down…

It should be a crime to waste Edwidge Fenech the way this movie did. My ★★ review of Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975) on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8xr7Np #GialloJanuary #Horror #Letterboxd #Filmsky #Horrorsky
