Giallogy: Cold Eyes of Fear

Two Giallogy posts in the same week? And back-to-back, no less? To what do we owe this treat? Well, Cold Eyes of Fear (971), that’s what. However, I must admit up front that Enzo G. Castellari’s film isn’t really a giallo at all. It’s more of a languidly paced home invasion thriller. When a man … Continue reading Giallogy: Cold Eyes of Fear →

Giallogy: Torso

Giallogy returns with one of the most rewatchable giallo films ever made. Enter at your own risk.

It contains several things I love. 1. Used books; 2. Used bookstores; 3. A hot, nerdy … Continue reading Lost and found: I, Madman →
