New on Blu-ray: GIALLO ESSENTIALS Volume 5 Blue Edition (The Forbidden Photos of A Lady Above Suspicion / Death Walks on High Heels / Death Walks at Midnight)

Giallo Essentials Volume 5 Blue Edition New On Bluray

Product Description: In the early 1970s, when the giallo boom was at its peak, producer-turned-director Luciano Ercoli helmed three standalone but thematically linked examples of the genre, accompanied by a rogues’ gallery of familiar and recurring faces, this trilogy of terror represents the Giallo at its most playful and unpredictable. In The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, Minou’s (Dagmar Lassander, The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire) dull but pampered life is upturned by a mysterious sadist (Simón Andreu, Death Carries a Cane) who blackmails her into submitting to his every perverted whim. In Death Walks on High Heels, Navarro stars as exotic dancer Nicole, daughter of a murdered jewel thief, who finds herself terrorized by a black-clad assailant determined to procure her father’s stolen gems. Finally, in Death Walks at Midnight, Navarro stars as Valentina – a model who, in the midst of a drug-fueled photoshoot, witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers.
