Thanks. I'll have to add that to my Netflix queue.
Rod - In what movies did Argento invent Slasher? What movies did you allude to? I honestly want to check out more.
Jenna - Thanks again for the recommendations. Last night I just watched Fulci's Zombie (Zombie 2) and...
I LOVED it. Absolutely hands down loved it from the cheesey
ZOMBIE VS SHARK scene (COMPLETE WITH REAL SHARK!!) to the gratuitous nudity to the gore incredibly and beautifully bleak ending. I thought that the direction and composition was fantastic. I am definitely going to check out more Fulci.
Doc - Thanks for those recommendations as well. I definitely enjoyed Suspira more than Tenebre because I thought it was more artfully done and imagistic. I honestly think that Suspira completely eclipses Tenebre and am interested that some people consider Tenebre to be a better film (though I think that, in taken with the context of his body of work, the movie becomes much more interesting). Suspira was definitely more creepy as well, and I thought that the abstract and absurd scenes made a lot more sense in that context than in Tenebre.
Thanks for the list, V and your critique of the genre. This is one of the more interesting threads that we've had in a while. And I honestly think that there should have been a sub-genre for Giallo Cinema (because they can't
always be slid into Slasher - I think that there are enough archetypes and markings of this genre to give it a space by itself).
So here is a question for Giallo fans:
If the HDC sub-genre voting pool had changed with Giallo as a topic...
What are your top 5 Giallo movies and why?
