All the Colors of the Dark
Satanic paranoia in Swinging London. Edwige Fenech is excellent.
Martino and Edwige Fenech make a giallo that keeps sliding into satanic hallucination, and the line between paranoia and conspiracy is never quite drawn. A traumatised woman in Swinging London is drawn into a black-magic cult, or imagines she is, and the film is happy to leave you unsure.
Fenech is the reason to watch, and Martino shoots her nightmares with a woozy zoom-heavy style that dates the film in the best way. The Rosemary's Baby influence is on the surface, but the mood is entirely its own.
Less a mystery than a bad dream you cannot wake from.

Written about
- The giallo, 1963 to 1976
A line of yellow paperbacks, a killer in black gloves, and Mario Bava building the American slasher a decade before Hollywood cashed the cheque.
Filed alongside
Death Walks at Midnight
Ercoli's brighter, faster Death Walks. Nieves Navarro sees a murder and nobody buys it.
The Perfume of the Lady in Black
Barely a murder mystery. A slow psychological collapse, and superb.
Death Walks on High Heels
Ercoli's best. Structurally cleverer than most of the cycle.
Short Night of Glass Dolls
Narrated by a paralysed man presumed dead. Unusual and very good.
The Case of the Scorpion's Tail
Martino at his most efficient. Nobody wastes a frame.
The College Girl Murders
The point where the black-and-white krimi tips over into full-colour giallo delirium.
