Exploitation films

The Black Abbot

The standard-issue Wallace krimi. Hood, abbey, inheritance, fog.

The Sinister Monk

A whip-wielding monk killing heiresses. Closest the krimi got to giallo.

The Dead Eyes of London

Blind killers, insurance fraud, and the best fog in the series.

The Inn on the River

The Rialto Wallace machine at full tilt: fog, a harpoon and Klaus Kinski looking guilty.

The Creature with the Blue Hand

Kinski playing both twins and a killer's claw that snaps shut like a bear trap. The krimi going out swinging.

The Fellowship of the Frog

The first Rialto Wallace krimi, and the reason the other thirty exist.

The Indian Scarf

Ten heirs in a Scottish castle, strangled one at a time. Kinski included.

The College Girl Murders

The point where the black-and-white krimi tips over into full-colour giallo delirium.

The Girl Who Knew Too Much

The one usually called the first giallo. Still half a krimi.
