- DirectorJesús FrancoStarsConrado San MartínDiana LorysHoward VernonDr. Orlof, a former prison doctor, abducts beautiful women from nightclubs and tries to use their skin to repair his daughter's fire-scarred face.Great film from Franco, a true legend of Exploitation and Grindhouse classics, Franco shined in this one, it had great suspense and really felt like a Giallo film.
Deserves a watch as it's not really scary i was expecting jumpscares or something as this is the first ever horror seen been meaning too start watching Franco's stuff for months just never got around to them as i was worried they would scare me too death. - DirectorJesús FrancoStarsAna CastorHoward VernonPaula MartelWhen violent crime strikes a tiny hamlet, the townsfolk suspect the distant relative of a sadistic 17th century baron who cursed the village.Decent chilling story from this Giallo film, the story was very fluied and was well written a man loses his mother and then goes on a killing spre, the village is also corused.
You can find this on internet archive, though this is more of a suspense and a few scenes did drag like a boring cop drama but overall a good film
Only could find it in French audio and spanish subs though - DirectorMario BavaStarsJohn SaxonLetícia RománValentina CorteseA mystery novel-loving American tourist witnesses a murder in Rome, and soon finds herself and her suitor caught up in a series of killings.Quite boring film, i did not enjoy it too much the only reason i watched it is someone tagged it bikini giallo well thats an amazing joke because i was expecting the dead women in bikinis not 1 bikini beach scene.
The only positive is the main women was a great actress, she knew how too act this made up for this misleasing imdb tags. - DirectorMario BavaStarsDaliah LaviChristopher LeeTony KendallThe ghost of a sadistic nobleman attempts to rekindle his romance with his terrorized, masochistic former lover, who is unwillingly betrothed to his brother.
- DirectorRichard HilliardStarsLee PhilipsShepperd StrudwickJean HaleA war veteran from a wealthy but troubled New England family is suspected in a series of brutal murders in his small town.Proberly the first American giallo / slasher horror film lots of nudity which is always great and the blood splatters along with the giallo story was great.
This is a great american giallo even know Europeans were better known fkr making giallos films but this one was better then European giallos in 1963. - DirectorJesús FrancoStarsFernando Fernán GómezJean ServaisLaura GranadosIn an unnamed Central American state on the eve of a crucial election, a young police informer working for police officer Miguel Mora bent on uncovering the shady works of popular politician Maurice Leprince is killed. However, thugs working for Leprince began to be killed one by one as well...
- DirectorMario BavaStarsCameron MitchellEva BartokThomas ReinerA masked, shadowy killer brutally murders the models of a scandalous fashion house in Rome.Very good Giallo the story worked well and i felt the creepyness alot of good blood scenes, though no nudity which was a bummer.
Though atleast there was bra / panties shots which was still good. - DirectorSilvio NarizzanoStarsTallulah BankheadStefanie PowersPeter VaughanA young woman is terrorized by her deceased fiancé's demented mother who blames her for her son's death.Decent story just barly anything happening like this needed more action same with all the hammer flicks before 1966.
Also Giallo with no tits is a disgrace.
Hollywood trash imo i don't want to watch anymore hammer flicks cause there all so slow. - DirectorCamillo MastrocinqueStarsBarbara SteeleAnthony SteffenClaudio GoraAt the end of the 19th century, in a little Italian village by a lake, an old statue is recovered. Soon a series of crimes start and the superstitious people of the village believe that the statue carries an ancient malediction .Not a good giallo was a bit boring and where is the tits at?
Giallo needs nude women thats why i watch these flicks not watching a bunch of people find out who a killer s we also need some eye candy. - DirectorMichael ReevesStarsBoris KarloffElizabeth ErcyIan OgilvyAn aging hypnotist creates a device that allows the user to control the mind of another person, but his wife abuses its power by manipulating a younger man to commit evil acts.Ergh no, this was poorly excuted annd felt like it was lacking the killing spree i was hoping for while the story was great it just lead to a poor excuted villan who did not go on any sort of killing spree.
- DirectorTinto BrassStarsJean-Louis TrintignantEwa AulinRoberto BisaccoBernard meets Jane in a night club, in London, and he likes her. Her father was killed in a car accident, but she thinks he has been killed because he was blackmailed for a picture of his second wife, Jane's mother in-law.

So they run away followed by the police and a dwarf, the blackmailer's men, who believe Bernard killed their boss. They believe that Jerome, Jane's brother, can help them to solve the case. But she doesn't know where he is, or so she says. Corpse after corpse, Bernard will find out the truth. But will the truth help him?Pretty piss poor Giallo, it kept switching from Colour / Black & White along with that a bad story and no real nudity just bad Giallo a few good action scenes but not worth 2 hours for this trash.
- DirectorElio PetriStarsFranco NeroVanessa RedgraveGeorges GéretAfter moving into a dilapidated rural villa to reinvigorate his creative energies, a neurotic artist becomes obsessed with a beautiful countess who died there many years prior.One of the most strangist films around didnt like the score seemed like nowadays music, didn't like the random images of random shit which makes it partly unwatchable.
Though the spence keeps you wanting to watch more of this strange giallo and that is the main reason im going with 6 if this didnt have a spence i would og easily said 2 or 3.
And the tits scenes where enjoyed - DirectorLucio FulciStarsJean SorelMarisa MellElsa MartinelliAn unscrupulous doctor is accused of killing his asthmatic wife as part of an insurance scam, despite discovering that she has a doppelgänger who works as a stripper and call girl.Pretty good alot of nudity though the story started good but then dragged a bit near the end, overall worth a watfh just for the tit, pussy & ass shots along with 1 blowjob scene.
Saw on Xh@mster. - DirectorUmberto LenziStarsCarroll BakerLou CastelColette DescombesA rich, alcoholic widow assuages her loneliness through a ménage à trois with two seductive step-siblings, whose true motives threaten her sanity and life.Pretty bad Giallo, had a few good sex scenes but nothing good overall avoid this one it is hard too find for a reason cause it's Giallo trash no real story and no real nudity.
- DirectorUmberto LenziStarsCarroll BakerJean-Louis TrintignantErika BlancA bored, married Parisian socialite is pulled into a web of lust and deception after he seemingly rescues a woman from her abusive boyfriend.Still bad hardley any nudity except for 2 glances, story was okay but GIALLO REQUIRE LONG NUDITY SCENES, just avoid this one.

- DirectorJosé Luis MerinoStarsErna SchurerCarlos QuineyAgostina BelliA young female biochemist travels to a castle seeking employment as a researcher by a wealthy baron, only to be sucked into a web of violence and intrigue.Yep a piss poor giallo with barly any nudity and no real killings,who ever directed this needs to learn every 5 minutes you require tits every 10 minutes you require a plot twist or a killing thats how you make giallo and this is pure trash.

- DirectorUmberto LenziStarsCarroll BakerJean SorelLuis DávilaA troubled race-car driver plots to kill her ex-husband at the behest of his new wife, but their scheme quickly goes awry.Great Giallo Bava knew what is was doing, a great story with a few plot twists but the tit and ass scenes oh hell yeah that's what boosted this rating, if it didn't have tit n ass action easily a 5 rating.
Story was average good in places with some plot twists a bit slow in spots as well Bava did know what he was doing but that tit n ass action. - DirectorLuciano ErcoliStarsDagmar LassanderPier Paolo CapponiSimón AndreuThe wife of a struggling businessman is blackmailed by a mysterious man into having a sadistic affair with him, or he will leak evidence implicating her husband of murder.Where the tits at?

SarafianStarsDavid HemmingsGayle HunnicuttWilfrid Hyde-WhiteReformed drug addict Tim Brett (David Hemmings) is vacationing in Italy with his aunt. When she is murdered, he tries to investigate. Soon his whole life spins out of control.Piss poor giallo, started off alright but the story just dragged with boring scenarios, a just skip for anybody.
Only one killing and no tit n ass which makes it even worse since giallo requires tit n ass every 5 -> 10 mins. - DirectorSergio BergonzelliStarsEleonora Rossi DragoPier AngeliFernando SanchoThe guests of a villa are killed off one by one by their hosts. Incest, decapitations and a cyanide bath feature amongst the other bizarre delights.Not the best Giallo had small tit n ass scenes with a alright story though needed more killings and more tit n ass scenes. One killing makes it boring as f'k and waiting around for something to happen.
Just skip this one not really that good, below average and this one isn't the best. - DirectorMichele LupoStarsAnna MoffoIda GalliGastone MoschinA family goes to a British estate to hear the reading of a will and while there they are murdered one by one.
- DirectorSergio MartinoStarsGeorge HiltonEdwige FenechConchita AiroldiAn ambassador's wife discovers that one of the men in her life - either her husband, an ex-lover or her current lover - may be a vicious serial killer.Great story and great Giallo film, great storyline which had a mixture of all the main elements which made Giallo films.
- DirectorPaolo CavaraStarsGiancarlo GianniniClaudine AugerBarbara BouchetA series of victims are paralyzed while having their bellies ripped open, much in the same way tarantulas are killed by the black wasp. The victims all seem to have a connection with a spa.Decent Giallo, story was good to follow and basic a tad misleading as the killer didn't really cut open stomachs, the first victim only had blood there.
- DirectorLuciano ErcoliStarsFrank WolffNieves NavarroSimón AndreuAfter a French stripper is harassed by a man who wants a cache of diamonds stolen by her late father, she flees to England in the company of a doctor, but danger follows.Average Giallo, story was simple and enjoyable though it needed more tna and killing scenes.
The gore and blood was awesome but needed more.
