Last night I watched A BLade in the Dark - giallo by Lamberto Bava from 1983. I'd read it was trashy with a high body count and lots of gore. I must say on that front I was a little disappointed. When I think trashy I think New York Ripper. This was classy by comparison. And a little slower than I expected. However I loved its atmosphere, style and I've got a crush on leading man Andrea Occhipinti so that helped. And one kill in particular, involving a plastic bag over the head, was very gruesome. So I'd recommend it, I guess I just wanted it to be 'worse' than it was!
