Black Belly of the Tarantula

Black Belly of the Tarantula

Directed by Paolo Cavara

A policeman hunts a serial killer who paralyzes his victims before slaying them in this cult giallo hit from MONDO CANE director Paolo Cavara. Italian heartthrob Giancarlo Giannini (HANNIBAL) stars as Inspector Tellini, who’s drawn into the web of a psycho who cuts open his frozen female victims, the same way a rare wasp kills a tarantula. Throw in a mysterious women’s spa, three (yes, three!) Bond girls, and a must-hear score by Ennio Morricone and you’ve got a recipe for a grade-A giallo, as stylish and scary as a killer in a crisp black trench coat.

Visceral music, great pacing, action, suspense. Must see if you like giallo

I love giallos, but this one was a tedious bore. The plot/editing is horrendous. The plot jumps from one character to The actresses are beautiful and the kills were OK. cga

Good movie that keeps you guessing and engaged in the story, great pacing in my opinion good for what it was especially if you like older ones.
