Most interesting of the announcements is Enigma Rosso so far.
Which is the third in the "Schoolgirls in peril trilogy" started with Solange and What Have They Done to Your Daughters.
So far there was only a so-so German dvd which could be considered English friendly...there was of course also the Italian dvd by CineKult (in Italian).
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SOLD

To be honest, I couldn't care less about Code Red. I hope another ( UK? ) company release these Italian titles but don't go on like a complete arse about it.

Whilst certainly not in the classical sense, it certainly exhibits enough of the tropes in my opinion.

Plus, Troy Howarth would also disagree with you considering he featured it in So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films, Volume 2.

A lot of people don't seem to rate this one very highly, which is unfortunate as I rather like it.

I like it as well. However i also don't tend to look on it as a giallo as such. Even the case calls it 'Shock cinema' and mentions Hostel.

It is a bit of a mystery though so i can see why it would be thought a giallo by some.

It's a bit like 'it's Italian so it must be a giallo'.

Yeah I see that a lot to be fair. Along with Americans calling them 'gee-allo' and constantly misusing the plural 'gialli', it's a hard time for me being a giallo fanatic

He also said it barely qualifies as one if I remember correctly haha (I'd ague it doesn't qualify as one at all). It was by an American director as well, to boot

And let's not EVER forget, Howarth doesn't consider Short Night of Glass Dolls a giallo. He included The Girl in Room 2A in his book, but not Short Night. Just have a think about that, reflect on it, cogitate
