A Blade in the Dark (1980s Italian Slasher Splatter)
At the beginning of the 1980s, a violent New Wave of Italian splatter began washing up on these shores. Thanks to the international success of the work of Dario Argento, enterprising distribution houses were taking stabs at bringing Eurohorror to the plebes. Before disappearing into a mess of TV movies and bad rehashes of past glories, Lamberto Bava’s flame shone brightly as an emerging new force in Pasta Land. A Blade in the Dark (aka The House with the Dark Staircase), when viewed today, stands tall […]

Manhattan Zodiac ’77 (Modern Giallo Slasher Trashterpiece)
Hell has finally frozen over… The 1970s and 1980s Grindhouse era of exploitation cinema spawned a curious breed of trendy bullshit infesting streaming sites and video shelves. Blame Tarantino and Rodriguez for this, their failed gimmick inspired a phalanx of imitators who couldn’t tell you the difference between Violent Shit and Dawn of the […]

The Final Gate (Giallo Zombie Horror)
Having never seen a Lucio Fulci movie, I feel like I went into this book with a fresh set of eyes. The authors make it clear at the start that they take huge inspiration from the director, and his films influence this book hugely. The Final Gate sets the pace early; it’s very quick […]

Piercing (Giallo Sadomasochist Thriller)
Piercing is a bizarre psychological thriller from writer-director Nicolas Pesce, which also doubles up as a dark, fucked-up rom-com that spreads giallo everywhere. Two negatives don’t make a positive, but two nuts create a violent and bloody mess, with lots of yellow. Reed is a family man with an awkward, timid nature, who harbors a desire to […]

Twist Ending – Demo 2014
Alright, enough of this popularity game. We shouldn’t even need to discuss a band’s level of fame in the first place, nor defend our reasons for reviewing something of “the above”. So we are below, so we shall stay, most of the time. What better way than music that incorporates practically everything one could desire […]
