Overview

Forgotten Gialli: Volume 4 (1978-1989)

With the giallo at its peak in the early 70s, it seemed that every filmmaker working in Italy was vying to make one and put their unique creative stamp on this highly popular genre. Presented here are a trio of early 70s gialli, all directed by filmmakers who had never made one before - or after - and all presenting wildly different approaches to the genre’s most prevalent trappings, ranging from deliriously sleazy, to high camp, to unwaveringly grim and sombre.

Forgotten Gialli: Volume 4 Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

"Forgotten Gialli: Volume 4" cranks up the eroticism for this release, collecting three movies that provide subgenre dedication, but remain mostly interested in delivering nudity and opportunities to depict sexual activity, some of it horrific. Vinegar Syndrome provides excellent visual presentations, and supplements do their best to establish some history behind wild creative choices.
