The Giallo Thread

Just received this one from a Greek collector...
Not English friendly btw.

doesn't Play Motel have hardcore in it?
I just Watched The Psychic. It's one of Fulci's best imo.

There are soft and hardcore versions.
This is the soft version.

The Psychic is a great Fulci giallo.

Has The Killer Must Kill Again ever been released in the UK? That would be a good one for shameless to release if not.

I think from what I've seen which isn't a great deal I prefer the more straight forward Giallo's rather than the more 'supernatural' type.

Here's what I've seen & how much I enjoyed them so if anybody could recommend a handful that would hopefully suit my tastes that would be great.

"The killer must kill again" has only been released in the US (Mondo Macabro) on Region 1 DVD. The disc itself says Region All. It wasn't.....

Region 1 dvd's shouldn't really be a problem nowadays...

They will be to people with only region 2 players. You'd probably be surprised at the number of people in the uk who don't get dvds from other countries.

I just watched The Killer Must Kill Again. I must say that the idea worked very well, this was a great movie. The story was very well done, and the rape scene was so well done I did get a little uncomfortable watching it. The ending was good too. The films got some really nice visuals, good soundtrack... I would say it's one of the best giallo type films I've seen so far, 8/10.

Glad you enjoyed it. It was one of the first Giallo's I saw. Had an almost Hitchcock vibe at times.

I only have a region 2 DVD player, see I'd buy an all regions player but I use my ps3 & would never bother to swap the wires over. I know there is an easy solution but I'd never bother sorting it out due to being so lazy.

Anyway, the killer must kill again would make a lovely shameless release

Agreed, all serious film fans should have multi region machines or another machine to play discs.
