I'm picking 'what have you done to Solange'..... because it's got it all, murder, vaginal stabbings, abortion, a pervert peeping on school girls in the shower, a twist ending that actually makes sense.....what else does a movie need?

THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS comes a close second, however: the archetypal '70s giallo as far as I'm concerned! Last Edited By: The Real Belfagor 05/05/08 23:26:03. Edited 1 times.

I'll go with THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES followed up closely in second place with Squonk's pick THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE. Both have fantastic gothic atmosphere and I love the inside of the castle in both films. RED QUEEN has a great killer decked out complete with red cape and I really enjoy that surrealistic dream (Red Queen coming down the hall-knife in hand!). RED QUEEN is like a horror comic book giallo! And as for EVELYN, it has one of the most fantastic openings I have ever seen in a giallo, immediately drawing in the viewer right off the bat and the conclusion easily ranks with the best in the giallo sub genre. Hell, I may have to go with EVELYN first, RED QUEEN second-ha ha. I guess I'll settle with a tie. Last Edited By: KlimovskyKat 05/05/08 03:49:03. Edited 1 times.

I think THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS is a particularly entertaining film. Umberto Lenzi's films with Carroll Baker ORGASMO, PARANOIA, KNIFE OF ICE, and SO SWEET . . . SO PERVERSE), are great, as is SPASMO. I also enjoy all of Sergio Martino's thrillers, in particular ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK and TORSO.

TENEBRE has everything: style (again!), music, a couple of unexpected shocks at the end, and an intense Tony Franciosa. That scene at night with the traveling camera outside, then inside the house, accompanied by Goblin's pulsating music, has to be one of the coolest moods of advancing death presented in film. Other gialli: A few with Fenech, like MRS. WARDH, are also standouts, but if I had only a couple to choose from in my giallo home, I'd be the Argentos. Mirek

Everything works for me - the actors, the colors, the music (I LOVE the music), everything. Any film with Cameron Mitchell, Eva Bartok AND Harriet White does it for me.

I love the Goblin music, the splashy gore and the all around mood of the film. My other favorites would be TENEBRE and BLOOD AND BLACK LACE, but PROFONDO ROSSO is tops for me. Brant
