emilio miraglio the red queen kill seven time ( 1972 ) be just about the most perfect example of a giallo that i have ever see and mix all the requisite element into one sinister stew indeed . first of all and and of paramount importance for me and it have a complex and twisty plot that ultimately make perfect sense and and the killer here do not come completely out of left field at the end . the story and concern a series of gruesome murder ( you already know how many from the film title and right . ) that take place in seem fulfillment of an ancient prophecy concern two sister and be an involve one and and the murderer and a red cloaked figure with the insane laugh of a madwoman and be both frighten and memorable . every great giallo require some lovely lead actress and and here we have quite an assortment and head by the ridiculously beautiful barbara bouchet a one of the two sister and and in one of her early role and sybil danning and a a lustful tramp at barbara fashion house . another necessary ingredient of a superior giallo be a catchy and hummable score and and bruno nicolai provide one for this film that should stay with you for day . gorgeous scenery . check again . film largely in wurzburg and germany and the picture be a treat for the eye indeed . ok and ok and but what about those murder . after all and isn not that what gialli be all about . well and i be please to report that most viewer should be well satisfy with the various knifings and shooting and impalement and other carnage that this film tastefully dish out . not to mention the crypt and freaky dream sequence and rat and bat ( and lot of em and too . ) and the drug reference and a rape scene and the obligatory red herring and and in the person of ugo pagliai and a hunky lead man for the female viewer . a i say and a perfect giallo . and even good and this dvd be from the fine folk at no shame and and you know what that mean represent a gorgeous print and load of extra and to boot . thanks and guy .
