Defined in the glossary: Giallo
A child is murdered in Venice. A grieving father hunts the killer through the fog.
A giallo soaked in grief and Venetian fog. After his young daughter is murdered, a sculptor investigates a series of child killings and uncovers a conspiracy of respectable men. The subject is grim and the film treats it with more weight than the cycle usually managed, closer in spirit to Don't Look Now, which it predates.
George Lazenby, briefly the screen's James Bond, plays the father, and Ennio Morricone provides an unusually mournful children's-choir score. Melancholy and effective.

The cycle in depth
- 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
All the Colors of the Dark
Satanic paranoia in Swinging London. Edwige Fenech is excellent.
StageFright
A killer in a giant owl mask, a locked theatre, and Soavi announcing himself.
The Psychic
Fulci does a clockwork giallo. A woman's vision of a murder turns out to be her own future.
The Case of the Bloody Iris
The Fenech giallo distilled to its purest form: models, murders, and no reason to solve any of it.
The House with Laughing Windows
A rural giallo with no gloss and a deep, patient dread. Often voted the best one going.
The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh
The Martino/Fenech formula, arriving fully formed. Cut and retitled Blade of the Ripper in the US.
The Black Belly of the Tarantula
The killer paralyses you first so you feel it. A first-rank giallo nobody name-checks.
Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key
Best title in the genre. Poe adaptation with Edwige Fenech and a black cat.
The Red Queen Kills Seven Times
A family curse, a killer in a red cloak, and a legend that kills every hundred years.
Hatchet for the Honeymoon
A bridal-couture killer who narrates his own psychosis, and the best ghost gag Bava ever staged.
Torso
Sleazy for an hour, then a brilliant silent final act.
The New York Ripper
Genuinely nasty and hard to defend. The killer quacks. It doesn't help.
