That wouldn't be difficult!

However, I'm under no illusion that Night Train to Terror is a 'good' film... I just find it extremely entertaining.

I'm actually enjoying the commentary.

Night Train to Terror sounds like one to check out based on this discussion.

Not one to spend £15 on though unfortunately. (Or £500 Keirarts. )

yer, but the important question is do you like the t.v show?
if you dont and didnt like the film then sort of doesnt count, if you love the show and thought it was pants thats a whole new ball game.

I think I managed to get it off zoverstocks... Or might have been the doll squad. Either ways its a tenner on .marketplace right now. Keep an eye on it as I got it much cheaper

Due Italiani...

The Murder Clinic (La lama nel corpo) (1966)



Gothic infused proto-giallo that takes place at an enclosed mental hospital where a black-cloaked killer is dispatching the patients and staff and the head doctor of the hospital seems to be covering up and harbouring a secret of his own.

Even though the body count is fairly low there's enough intrigue around to keep you interested, plus the script is pretty solid; the original story having been adapted by Luciano Martino and Ernesto Gastaldi. However, all that said, the film is perhaps a victim of its own time-period what with being made at a time where Gothics were waning and gialli was on the increase - and unfortunately it's not a great example of either genre but does the job nonetheless.



62/100


The Sex of Angels (Il sesso degli angeli) (1968)



Euro-erotica oddity concerning three free-spirited young women who decide to 'kidnap' (in the loosest sense of the word imaginable) a young man and take a joyride in a luxury yacht. The usual bed-hopping shenanigans occur but then things take a more sinister turn when one night they all decide to take some LSD and awake the next day to find that the young man has been shot.

Inhibiting shades of Top Sensation and Interrabang, and whilst The Sex of Angels may not be as accomplished, it still makes for an interesting watch; not least of all because the main players are all pretty convincing in their roles.

Is there a giallo thread, if not there should be.
B.E you're doing a sterling job.

Thankfully it doesn't seem to be available on dvd. At least not on VS anyway.

A lot of giallo seem to be nice title, twisty turny plot.a psycho killer, Lsd, mental illness and sexy chicks.
bring back the giallo, i'm bored of oscar worthy shite.
