Movie / 1972 / Thriller / Horror

All the Colors of the Dark

Why this pick

Sergio Martino again combines a psychologically vulnerable heroine, erotic danger and shifting suspicions, but pushes the dreamlike imagery and paranoid uncertainty even further.

The Case of the Scorpion's Tail poster 02

Movie / 1971 / Thriller

The Case of the Scorpion's Tail

Why this pick

It shares the sleek, sunlit international giallo style, adulterous entanglements and steadily changing roster of suspects, with brisker travelogue momentum.

The Red Queen Kills Seven Times poster 03

Movie / 1972 / Horror / Thriller

The Red Queen Kills Seven Times

Why this pick

A glamorous, colour-saturated giallo with fashionable settings, family secrets and a masked threat; its pleasures lie in the elaborate visual mood and accumulating suspicions.

The Perfume of the Lady in Black poster 04

Movie / 1974 / Horror / Thriller

The Perfume of the Lady in Black

Why this pick

Its elegant urban imagery and fractured female perspective sustain the same uneasy question of whether danger is external, intimate or psychological, with a more art-house pace.

The Fifth Cord poster 05

Movie / 1971 / Thriller

The Fifth Cord

Why this pick

This is a cool, meticulously composed giallo in which a compromised protagonist follows clues through wealthy circles, favouring visual unease and suspicion over straightforward action.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

In Vienna, a streak of murders envelop, committed by an unknown killer. Julie Wardh, a mentally fragile American socialite and heiress to the Wardh's retailing fortune, is targeted by this unknown assassin through letters of blackmail. Julie suspects her ex-lover Jean to be the man behind the letters but does not wish to confide in her husband Neil. Instead Julie falls for, and confides in, a cavalier by the name of George whom she takes as her new lover. As events unfold Julie is reminded of her past sadomasochistic love affair with Jean all the while suspicions are raised against both George and Neil as the possible culprits. Who is the killer and what does he want from Julie?
