I unboxed a new Koch release, it is an amazing 5 disc set
Nice. Got that box on my amazon.de wish list for several months now. Glad to see it has finally been released. Got the ‘old’ Shameless release of Footprints on the Moon but look forward to watching it in HD. Never watched La donna del lago before so that will be a first 
Have to disagree Scherp. Bridget Jones geographical nonsense aside this is one I always enjoy. And Florinda definitely hit all the right buttons for me. Sexy in a slightly unconventional way maybe but definitely sexy.
You were the guy I was quoting. We disagree on this movie and that woman.
Happens, like some other thing that I won’t mention
I’ll support Phil. Lizard is the best Fulci movie to me and Florinda was one of better actresses in Italian genre cinema imho.
I support brother titoli supporting brother Phil… Lizard was superb and the rooftop stuff, as improbably geographical as it transpires, was spectacularly cinematic.
Tonight’s fun was The Red Queen Kills 7 Times which I seem to remember Brother Phil had commented on back in the mist of thread, about the rather stylish interiors - horizontally striped walls, and the rather fetching and revealing post-shower attire (unfortunately male), which decorated this twisty J&B sodden tale.
This pretty much had everything a cliche-ridden giallo should have, except genuine scary-stuff tension (which is fine for a wuss like me). As a camp example of the genre it was almost perfect - and that’ll do for tonight’s entertainment.
Besides the twisty, convoluted meta-logic wrapped up in gothic-prophesy, it had creative cartoony murders and some nakedity distractions, plus a red phone, a spiral staircase and plenty of B.B. and J&B…
Camp giallo pantomime… “It’s behind you!”
Great stuff!
Off course Bouchet was the one on my mind too.
That’s my thoughts exactly
You of course got the Red Queen action figure… or just figure:
Ha ha … tacky.
Is this the one that has The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave with it?
Confusing these could be, as The Red Queen… is also about the possibility that Evelyn has returned from the dead as well.
Apparently I missed a couple of bottles in Black Belly….
I found this site about J&B in the movies with a big section on giallos…
(I don’t know whether it’s been previously mentioned?) Somebody has had a lot of fun putting in the research on this. The pic of Marisa Mell’s thigh-gap and a bottle from Perversion Story is genius 
That’s the one! Arrow is going to release that in a blu-ray edition at some point in the near future and, fingers crossed, hopefully also The Red Queen Kills Seven Times. Still, the box set with the figure is nice to have. And it’s tasty not tacky
Alan Jones has tweeted that he and Kim Newman recorded new audio commentaries for THE BLOODSTAINED BUTTERFLY & THE RED QUEEN KILLS 7 TIMES for Arrow, or were going to on January 12. They did the commentary for What Have You Done to Solange? and several Argentos like BWtCP, Suspiria, and Tenebre. Great commentaries also, much better than the equivalent spaghetti commentaries that happen for Blue Underground.

… and Arrow Video announced their Killer Dames box set today, which mirrors the old Noshame-box:
Details for the new German Hatchet BluRays are out

Naked Girl Killed in the Park (Brescia, 1972)
I’m not a big fan of Patrizia Adiutori but it must be recognised that the sex scene is by far the best thing about this confused and unconvincing movie.
1,5 out of 5
Cold Eyes of Fear - Very moody feeling watching the blu-ray… Enzo’s direction is great, would probably be much harder to sit through otherwise, as the story isn’t very interesting, imo
I saw those two recently as well and sort of enjoyed both but NGKITP was a shitty pan and scan print from Desert Island Classics which was annoying. Cold Eyes… was the better film of the two and although not particularly giallo-esque did have Garko and Wolff, and a stunningly be-wigged Giovanni Ralli!
Anyway, to add to my enjoyment of all things Gialli… this arrived today…
And regarding “not particularly giallo-esque” - this volume mentions 4 spags that have been discussed on their own threads regarding this issue…
The ‘Four of the Giallapocalypse’ mentioned are…
Ringo, It’s Massacre Time (Phil n’ Bill have contradicting viewpoints about its giallo-ness); The Masked Thief (In The Name of the Father, The Son and the Colt); Kill The Poker Player; and Price of Death.
I haven’t see the second one and can barely remember anything of the others except a bit of POD, so I can’t comment further.
Still, nice they get a mention… 
Nice to see a glimpse of Saltaire’s one and only Tiki bar too, Rev.
