British label 88 Films has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Antonio Bido's thriller Watch Me When I Kill (1977), starring Franco Citti, Fernando Cerulli, Giuseppe Addobbati, Gianfranco Bullo, and Jill Pratt. The release will be available for purchase on October 23.
Synopsis: Antonio Bido, the man who won understandable cult acclaim with his stylish stalker-thriller The Bloodstained Shadow (1978), helmed one of the defining giallo shockers in 1977's nightmarish Watch Me When I Kill. For fans of yellow-peril, golden age, Italian black-gloved killer mayhem, it does not get any better than this suspenseful murder-mystery which follows an animalistic, knife-happy maniac as he cuts and drowns his victims to prohibit a historic secret emerging. Exactly why the dead bodies are piling up confuses the authorities - but the reasoning behind this sudden slash 'em up activity proves both jarring and jaggedly horrible. And look out for an appearance from legendary Italian genre veteran Paolo Malco (The House by the Cemetery) and a sizzling soundtrack from art prog-rockers Trans-Europe Express. Cinematography by Mario Vulpiani (Marco Ferreri's La Grande Bouffe, Dillinger Is Dead).
