The Giallo Thread

[bdc]

Some rough pic quality grades (as far as I can remember):

My Dear Killer (1971) 6-7
Night Train Murders (1975) 6-7
Oasis of Fear (1971) 6
Phantom of Death (1987) 5-6
Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, The (1971) 6
Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975) 6
Torso (1973) 6 but audio problematic
Watch Me When I Kill (1977) 5-6 best release though
What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974) 6-7
Who Saw Her Die? (1972) 6-7
Footprints (1975) 5-6
Designated Victim, The - Fan Edition (1971) 6

Maybe ask some others as well as my memory is so-so...

I'm really happy with the way the Shameless dvds look when upscaled. By no means HD quality but they do look very filmic

I've added 2 more titles but please feel free to comment or put your own list up as it's been a while since I last watched them all...

Oasis of Fear is pretty ropy really, probably a 4.

I love it though.

Really?
Must have been distracted..

The Designated Victim is rather hard to judge, as it's comprised of so many different prints that vary quite scarily. TBH, it's with out a doubt the most love the film will ever get, and it's a stone cold classic, so i;m not arsed about quality.

Yeah I quite enjoyed that one as far as remakes go. Thought the ending was a bit rubbish though . . .

Would be interested in your thoughts on this one...

Solid mid 80's giallo which really comes to life in the final conclusion imho.
I think there's only the Awe/Njuta dvd?

Would love it if TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE was released on dvd as well...

I don't remeber Nothing Underneath being that good (i don't even remember the scene in the video you posted) but i'm still happy its on DVD as all films should be.

It's no masterpiece but certainly a solid effort (especially for that time) imho.
Speaking of newer gialli,I also really liked Sergio Martino's last giallo Mozart is a Murderer (1999).

It was made for television (Rai) and is therefore relatively bloodless but still has a great classic giallo storyline.
