New York Ripper: A Bloody, Sleazy Love Letter to Grindhouse Cinema
Alright, buckle up, because New York Ripper (1982) is a nasty ride through the darkest corners of New York City—and I do mean nasty. Directed by the one and only Lucio Fulci, this is not for the faint of heart, and if you’re in the mood for something that revels in its depravity, well, have I got…

The Red Queen Kills Seven Times: A Giallo Goldmine That’s Too Fun to Miss
Alright, let’s get this out of the way: The Red Queen Kills Seven Times is absolutely bonkers. And that, my friends, is precisely why it’s so damn delightful. If you’re a giallo fan—or even just someone who’s curious about what the heck this subgenre is all about—this 1972 flick directed by the legendary Emilio Miraglia is a…

A Wounded Fawn (2022)
I went into A Wounded Fawn knowing little more than its art-house horror label and the buzz surrounding its surreal take on toxic masculinity. By the time the credits rolled, I found myself grappling with what I’d just witnessed: a vivid, bizarre, and occasionally brilliant meditation on the horrors of guilt, power, and self-destruction. “Love…

Boys from County Hell (2020
When it comes to vampire movies, it’s easy to feel like you’ve seen it all. But leave it to the Irish countryside—and a scrappy indie film—to inject some fresh blood into the genre. Boys from County Hell doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but it delivers a solid, gory romp that balances humor, heart, and…

Anything for Jackson (2020)
When I first heard about Anything for Jackson, I figured it was another run-of-the-mill possession flick. You know the drill—demonic whispers, levitating furniture, and priests yelling Latin incantations. What I didn’t expect was a darkly comedic and unsettling spin on the genre that had me equal parts horrified and amused. Leave it to Shudder to…

Evil Dead Rise (2023)
The Evil Dead franchise has never been shy about delivering the goods when it comes to grotesque violence and the unrelenting terror of the undead. Evil Dead Rise continues that tradition, bringing the chaos to an urban setting as it trades the isolated cabin in the woods for a high-rise apartment building. It’s a bold…

Torso (1973) – A Gripping, Nail-Biting Giallo That Keeps You On The Edge of Your Seat
If you’ve ever wondered what makes a perfect giallo, look no further than Torso. It’s a film that takes the classic elements of the genre—murder, mystery, and a masked killer—and amps them up to the point where your heart is pounding in your chest, your eyes are glued to the screen, and you’re almost afraid to…

Bloodstained Shadow: A Giallo of Gloom and Glorious Intrigue
Bloodstained Shadow (1978) is one of those giallo films that doesn’t get the love it deserves—yet. And that’s a damn shame, because this is a slow-burn, moody slasher that hits all the right notes if you’re in the mood for a giallo that takes its time and builds a sense of creeping dread. Directed by Antonio…

The Fifth Cord (1971) – Franco Nero’s Absolute Masterclass in Giallo
Alright, let’s talk about The Fifth Cord—because if you haven’t seen it yet, stop reading and go watch it. Seriously. This film has everything that makes giallo so freaking addictive: suspense, mystery, stunning visuals, and, of course, the iconic Franco Nero doing his thing like the absolute legend he is. Directed by the underrated Luigi Bazzoni, The…
