The Red Queen Kills Seven Times

Why this pick

Matches Bava’s glamorous, color-saturated giallo world with couture settings, a striking masked menace, and a murder mystery where family secrets keep the suspects shifting.

Hatchet for the Honeymoon poster 02

Movie / 1970 / Horror

Hatchet for the Honeymoon

Why this pick

Another Bava exercise in baroque murder design, centered on a bridal-fashion business; it shares the original’s fetishistic décor, vivid color, and elegantly unreal nightmare logic.

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage poster 03

Movie / 1970 / Horror / Thriller

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage

Why this pick

Its black-gloved killer, probing investigation, and precision-built suspense extend Blood and Black Lace’s giallo pleasures, while keeping the visual compositions and clues unusually important.

All the Colors of the Dark poster 04

Movie / 1972 / Thriller / Horror

All the Colors of the Dark

Why this pick

A lavish, disorienting giallo full of saturated color, threatening imagery, and unstable perception—ideal for the dreamlike menace beneath Bava’s immaculate surfaces.

The Fifth Cord poster 05

Movie / 1971 / Thriller

The Fifth Cord

Why this pick

Offers a cooler, more architectural version of the same stylish murder-mystery appeal, with bold modernist interiors, a gallery of suspects, and patiently accumulating dread.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Isabella, one of many beautiful Model (person) employed at a fashion house, is walking through the grounds that lead to the establishment one night when she is attacked and violently killed by an assailant wearing a white featureless mask. Police Inspector Sylvester is assigned to investigate the murder and he interviews Max Morlan, the manager who co-manages the salon with his lover, the recently widowed Countess Christina Como. Max attests that he can not provide any information whatsoever that can assist the inspector, but as the investigation continues all of the fashion house's various sins, including corruption, abortions, blackmail and drug addiction, begin to come to light. It is revealed that Isabella had kept a diary detailing these vices, and suddenly almost every employee becomes nervous.
