[INDEX PAGE] Giallo Indentikit Series

This page will serve as the permanent, regularly updated home for links to every entry in the GIALLO IDENTIKIT series. The most recent entry will appear at the top of each list. For the purposes of this page, a distinction has been made between the IDENTIKIT entries that are extensive write-ups and those that serve primarily as image-comparison entries for different home-video releases of the film. 

For me, special mention goes to maybe the most exciting Giallo discovery I’ve made in recent years, Manfred Purzer’s DAS NETZ (aka THE NET, 1975). Not only have I not been able to find mention of it in the various Giallo listings I’ve collected, I’ve yet to find any substantial writing on it in English. It is most definitely a Giallo, and an incredibly experimental one that deserves to be seen far and wide ... also my write-up of Martino’s ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK, which was done in tandem to the audio clip that I contributed to the Movie Matters Podcast ... and two entries in my ongoing Giallo manifesto: What Makes a Giallo? and Busting Giallo Myths. 

As always, watch more Gialli!
