The Fifth Cord poster 01

Movie / 1971 / Thriller

The Fifth Cord

Why this pick

A similarly elegant, oppressive Italian mystery, driven by a reporter’s increasingly disorienting investigation, stark urban imagery, and a pervasive sense that unseen forces are closing in.

The Perfume of the Lady in Black poster 02

Movie / 1974 / Horror / Thriller

The Perfume of the Lady in Black

Why this pick

Its sophisticated visual style and mounting psychological unease echo the original’s feeling of being trapped inside a sinister puzzle whose reality keeps slipping out of reach.

The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion poster 03

Movie / 1970 /

The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion

Why this pick

A sleek, paranoid giallo about manipulation and menace behind respectable surfaces, with the same glamorous early-1970s texture and steadily tightening dread.

The House with Laughing Windows poster 04

Movie / 1976 / Horror / Thriller

The House with Laughing Windows

Why this pick

For the investigative pull and slow-blooming horror: it patiently turns an outsider’s inquiry into a haunting encounter with an isolated community’s buried corruption.

The Pyjama Girl Case poster 05

Movie / 1977 / Thriller

The Pyjama Girl Case

Why this pick

Another unusually melancholic giallo, balancing procedural inquiry with morbid imagery, elusive identities, and a more somber, reflective mood than a conventional murder mystery.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

The corpse of reporter Gregory Moore (Jean Sorel) is found in a Prague plaza and brought to the local morgue. But Moore is actually alive, trapped inside his dead body and desperately recalling how the mysterious disappearance of his beautiful girlfriend (Barbara Bach) led to a terrifying conspiracy of depravity. Can a reporter with no visible signs of life solve this perverse puzzle before he meets his ultimate deadline?
