Gialli's i like have been bava, and things like giallo in the vern of strange vice of mrs wards and What have you done to solange , forbidden Photos... and all of Fulci's apart from Lizards Skin.
Do you guys think I will like the two films in the killer dames set? |
Difficult to say. I personally also love all the films you mentioned (except
Forbidden Photos which I think is a little mediocre), however
Lizard is my favourite Fulci and one of my favourite gialli too.
The Killer Dames set includes
Red Queen which is also one of my favourite gialli, however whilst I enjoy
Evelyn it's not a favourite of mine. It's also not really a giallo in the traditional sense and actually has more in common with Bava's supernatural / gothic works so you may actually enjoy it a fair bit going off your comments above - it's a little less 'polished' than a lot of Bava's films though.
I suppose you could always wait for the stand-alone releases and pick them up cheap in a future sale, although as you own the
Black Cats and
Death Walks Twice sets already, for me,
Killer Dames is the best of three (there's not really a lot in it though).
