Giallo!

Masked killers, hard boiled detectives, stunning beauties, sharp knives, and maniacs lurking in the shadows. These Italian-produced murder mysteries of the ‘60s and ‘70s are dripping with eroticism and lurid violence. Giallo might mean “yellow”, but take our word for it, these films, and their contemporary descendants, are blood red.

Black gloves and sharp knives abound in this essential excerpt of the Italian subgenre.
