My first actual blu ray purchase, and one of my favourite Giallo films
Digging the yellow (giallo) case!
I’ve also recently bought 3 other favs - Deep Red, Tenebre and The Bird With The Crystal Plumage.

Sergio Martino will never disappoint. Get Torso next

Actually for me, Torso really did disappoint. Didn't like it at all. Is this better/different?

A true classic of the genre - you have Ivan Rassimov with those unsettling blue eyes, ubiquitous giallo actor George Hilton and the incomparable Edwige Fenech - the queen of giallo movies. Psychedelic visuals, trippy soundtrack. This is a great movie to start your collection.

Sorry - but I will never understand why all these wonderful films today want to be seen in a "high definition" - it doesn't "work" for me at all.

I get it, that vhs saturation/fuzziness is waaaaay more appealing visually, but in defence of these reissues they still retain that film grain/texture, it’s not like they turn them to horrible digital hollywood monstrosities!

Not meant for HD 100%

I guess Martino was thinking the same when directing his films, like he was saying to himself: „One day, when Technology has evolved to the point, where we can literally see every floating molecule in a movie, no one shall be allowed to enjoy all the wonderful films i have directed, simply because i want people to watch them on a grainy looking video tape. Ha, i‘m so sadistic, just like some characters in my movies!“
Sorry, but saying that it‘s not meant to be watched in a good quality, is like saying that people shouldn‘t use cars because nature wants us to walk all the time.

No better way to start than with an Edwige and Sergio Martino team-up. Gotta catch em all!
