Mannequin in Red (1958)



One of the very earliest Giallo films from Sweden that some critics refers as the film which inspired Italian horror maestro Mario Bava to make his classic Blood and Black Lace (1964); as here's also the story centers around a fashion house and it all comes with colorful lighting & great camera works like any Bava film. But overall this is more of a mystery thriller than a Giallo feature with zero gore & little bit of humor at some parts.

Eye of the Devil (1966)



The premise was nice for an interesting diabolical thriller but the plot turned out pretty average where most of the time it seems like unsure of what it wanted to be or deliver as a whole. But the great thing about the film is the fantastic assemble of actors in it...Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Donald Pleasence, David Hemmings and the stunning Sharon Tate!:o
