GIALLORAMA! MY DEAR KILLER (1972) TWO TOP HATS

January 9, 2013 by theipc

Well – sadly – this one wasn’t too exciting either… George Hilton and his moustache are back in what is basically a police procedural with a TON of dialogue and not very much action. I mean , this started off pretty good with a little bit of this: and some of this: and even a little bit of this: but then it just went into a whole lot of this: and a bunch of this: and some of this: Talk […]

GIALLORAMA! A HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON (1970) TWO TOP HATS

January 9, 2013 by theipc

O M G This movie was so boring I could barely even stand it. In fact, this was so boring and the music was so irritating that I have a serious headache. Almost nothing happens in this. There is a TON of this: A bunch of this: A little bit of this: A slight touch of this: and that’s it! Oh wait – there’s also some of this: A dude inherits his mommy’s dress making business and fancy estate. He lives with […]

GIALLORAMA! THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (1963) THREE TOP HATS

November 28, 2012 by theipc

You might also know this movie by the title: The Evil Eye. I don’t know why it would be called that but….. OK. A while back I printed up a Wikipedia list of “Giallo Movies” because I would like to see them all (except for Black Belly of the Tarantula {supposedly someone is going to guest report on that one [I am deathly scared of spiders]}) and this one is at the top of the list. IMDB-bots also have a bunch of user reviews […]

GIALLORAMA! TENEBRE (1982) FOUR BIG TOP HATS

November 21, 2012 by theipc

I fully recognize and realize and understand that I am years behind good folks like GOREGIRL and WEDNESDAY’S CHILD when it comes to Italian horror movies – and I bow to their superiority, but I am doing my best to hone up on my studies and absorb like a sponge and write my reports as best I can. I don’t remember how many I’ve seen by now – but I think this is the best one yet. I still don’t […]

GIALLORAMA! THE SISTER OF URSULA (1978) THREE TOP HATS

October 24, 2012 by theipc

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way – this post is Rated R for Nudity and Imagery. Clear on out now if you’re not accompanied by parent. I have been struggling to figure out how I could write up something about this. This movie is insane in all sort of ways. From The Sex to the things they do to the constant nudity (male and female) to the strange events that happen out of the blue […]

GIALLORAMA! THE KILLER MUST KILL AGAIN (1975) THREE TOP HATS

October 3, 2012 by theipc

Well – this isn’t going to go down as one of my favorite movies I’ve ever borne witness to but it wasn’t too bad. I actually thought the first twenty minutes and the last ten were pretty good, but it sure was slow in between… I usually like to take notes on some of these – especially the giallo – but this one was pretty much uninteresting for most of the run time and this is all I have: polio shot scars!

GIALLORAMA! DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING (1972) FOUR TOP HATS

September 19, 2012 by theipc

The other day Mary came up to me and asked what was on my IPC agenda for the next few days and I told her about what I had and she frowned and said something like “No more Giallos….?? You’re abandoning your roots….” and I replied with something like “no no no no no I just don’t ave any handy” and she went “whatever dude, you’re leaving us all hanging” and left my office. I forgot to mention to her […]

GIALLORAMA! THE YOUNG, THE EVIL AND THE SAVAGE (1968) THREE TOP HATS

August 10, 2012 by theipc

I suppose it would only fair of me to tell you that this came to me from Netflix with the lurid name of NAKED YOU DIE on the envelope but I could only find one measly image or poster for NAKED YOU DIE because apparently this was released as THE YOUNG, THE EVIL AND THE SAVAGE, so we’re going with that. Of course I wasn’t renting this because it promised a bunch of 70s sleaze under the name NAKED YOU […]

GIALLORAMA! COLD EYES OF FEAR (1971) TWO TOP HATS

July 30, 2012 by theipc

Well hmmm… When I put this thing in, understanding that this was made in 1971, I was surprised that the first thing to come on screen was a modern video of a goth looking vampire woman fondling some enormous, naked boobs from behind and biting the poor girl’s neck. Then, the girl is writhing on some slab and the vampire is under her letting her blood drip in her mouth and then the words REDEMPTION PRESENTS grace the screen and […]

GIALLORAMA! VIRGIN KILLER? (1978) THREE TOP HATS

July 20, 2012 by theipc

I understand marketing and making the product a better sell somewhere else, but it’s kind of hard to track down the 30 year histories of some of these older movies. In the package this came in, this is called TRAUMA but when I look it up on IMDB it’s called VIRGIN KILLER and I also see it out there as VIRGIN TERROR and, obviously, RINGS OF BLOOD. So I guess I’ll go with a little bit of this: Or, we […]

GIALLORAMA! BLOOD AND BLACK LACE (1964) THREE TOP HATS

July 6, 2012 by theipc

HMMMMMMMMM…. so I ordered this up in the way that I do things, bored and full of beer, and when I got it I showed it to Mary and she said something like “OOOOO the 60s!!” and I thought “uh oh…”. I don’t have anything against the 60s except for fashion in general but, when it comes to movies and shit from that period, I can never really get into them, mostly because of the noises (sound effects and the […]

GIALLORAMA! SHORT NIGHT OF GLASS DOLLS (1971) THREE TOP HATS

June 29, 2012 by theipc

Now that I have gotten older, I am not likely to take risks like I used to (jumping off a cliff into the ocean, climbing the old, haunted, abandoned water plant smokestack and sitting on the rim drinking beer, going into the old, haunted, abandoned hospital morgue, etc., etc.) but I have to take a couple of risks this weekend so, if I don’t make it back (lol) I am warning threatening advising early that I am putting out a couple of […]

GIALLORAMA! WHO SAW HER DIE? (1972) FOUR TOP HATS

June 22, 2012 by theipc

WHAT? I thought this was fantastic! When I was first thinking about this, before I started watching, the general consensus I found out there was that this was “not very good”, “boring” and the lead – George Lazenby – “sucked”. We all have our own opinions, of course, but I disagree with those poo-pooers. I liked this from the first five minutes, through the credits and all the way through, for that matter. I liked the kid, the dad, the mom, I […]

GIALLORAMA

June 1, 2012 by theipc

I can’t remember if it it was last week or the week before that I threatened everyone remarked about creating a new page and putting my collection of Italian Horror Giallo beauties in one place. Well – I finally did and, if you were interested, you could check it out up there under the header, or here. I’m really starting to like these things, if you haven’t already noticed, and to christen the new page-o-rama we’ve got a quality wonderful decent rendering […]

GIALLORAMA! THE FIFTH CORD (1971) FOUR TOP HATS

May 18, 2012 by theipc

Hey – how about this?? This movie was pretty good! Unlike some of the silliness and absurdity that comes with some of these things, this was a pretty meaty mystery / suspense that I really enjoyed. I would never claim that I know anything about these old timey directors and DPs and such because nobody tells me anything and I don’t know nuthin, but whoever this guy was, he really did a good job with this. I don’t know if […]

GIALLORAMA! THE FORBIDDEN PHOTOS OF A LADY ABOVE SUSPICION (1970) THREE TOP HATS

May 11, 2012 by theipc

With a name like that and an alluring poster like this, this movie has to be good, right? Right? Right? Well this wasn’t too bad but it suffered from a little bit of timidity, I think. From the slip case and the descriptions and reviews I read about this after I ordered it it sounded like some sort of depraved porno (which is not why I ordered it, thank you) but this was pretty mild compared to the other movies […]

GIALLORAMA! THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (1970) THREE TOP HATS

May 2, 2012 by theipc

Here we are again with another one of these Italian beauties from the 70s, this one also directed by Dario Argento (apparently this was the first movie he made). I don’t recall seeing a lot of Argento’s works but, for some reason, I remember them being very bloody and full of bare skin. These two movies of his that I have watched recently have been pretty tame – pretty low rated PG tame IMO. Granted, honestly, there were aspects of “Crystal Plumage” […]

GIALLORAMA! FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET (1971) THREE TOP HATS

April 26, 2012 by theipc

Hmmm… well…. Dario Argento’s Four Flies on Grey Velvet isn’t really like the other nine or so of these types of movies I’ve seen. It’s definitely much tamer than the rest, especially when it comes to bared skin and bloody murder but I think it’s actually one of the better “stories” out of this small collection I’ve looked at. It’s not just: here’s some random shit, here’s some random shit, here’s some random shit, here’s some random shit, wait what […]

GIALLORAMA! STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER (1975) TWO TOP HATS

April 18, 2012 by theipc

The immortal Jeffrey Johnson once said “It’s hard to procrastinate today when I can just procrastinate tomorrow”. Inspired by these words I stopped procrastinating and got down to business with the provocatively named Giallo: “Strip Nude for Your Killer”. Going into a movie with a title like this, my expectation was set for some 70′s exploitation sleaze mixed with some of the mysterious and crazy plot twists I’ve observed in the last few of these things I have watched – and […]

A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN (1971) THREE TOP HATS

April 11, 2012 by theipc

If you’ve ever read any Harry Stephen Keeler works than you would be familiar with the concept of : “what the fuck is going on with that shit and what does it have to do with anything” style of storytelling. While the other movies in this genre that I am starting to love “kind of” go that route, this one is pretty solidly WTF in its twisty movements that keep on coming until the last line is spoken (much like Keeler’s […]

GIALLORAMA! THE PYJAMA GIRL CASE (1977) THREE TOP HATS

April 4, 2012 by theipc

So…. the first twenty minutes of this (also known as The Girl in the Yellow Pajamas) are pretty good; the last twenty minutes of this are actually excellent but the middle sixty drag along like an average episode of the old Charlie’s Angels. I was really into this to begin and then it got really boring except for that montage where the cops are showing the nude, burned, mutilated body to the general public (to see if they could recognize […]

GIALLORAMA! THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS (1976) THREE TOP HATS

March 29, 2012 by theipc

Well – now that this is over I can say that, without a doubt, I sure didn’t see THAT end coming. Wow – nice! Now that I am fully enthralled with this genre of movies and plan to keep on trucking with them, I think I can postulate that this isn’t like many of the others (to be sure: I have only seen five), in which: it has no nudity, a very low body count, it isn’t really that “weird’ […]
