Giallo: All the Colours of the Dark
Jane (Edwige Feneche) has cool, surreal nightmares that cause her to freak out and take showers with her clothes on. Her boyfriend Richard (George Hilton) seems to think it's a vitamin deficiency and gives her strange coloured liquids to drink. Her sister Barbara (Nieves Navarro/Susan Scott) thinks she should see a psychiatrist. Her neighbour Mary (Marina Malfatti) suggests she try joining a satanic cult.
Guess which option Jane goes for.
In front of and behind the camera, All the Colours of the Dark features many prolific giallo practitioners: director Sergio Martino, co-writer Ernesto Gastaldi, stars Feneche, Navarro, Hilton and Ivan Rassimov, composer Bruno Nicolai (who orchestrated most of Ennio Morricone's giallo scores as well as writing many of his own), etc.
Look, something is totally the f**k wrong when it takes me over three days to write a review of a trashy Italian horror movie. I started this mofo at 4:18pm on Sunday, and I still can't work out what to write next. So here's some pictures.
