Black Belly of the Tarantula
Giancarlo Gianini plays a troubled detective in this classy and slick, but ultimately not very thrilling giallo. En excellently groozy Morricone soundtrack adds tons of sexy atmosphere, but does nothing to ramp up the tension. Above par acting and directing make this one a stylish entry into the genre.
6.5/10
The Legend of Hell House
I really want to remake this one. Although it adheres rather closely to the book, it fails to be scary. Once again, good acting, cool set design, interesting story, but it fails to bring the scares. Matheson's novel is a scary read - after the recent success of I Am Legend, I wouldn't be surprised to see this one get the big budget treatment as well.
6/10
