Iván Zulueta's post-Franco ARREBATO is a triangle of eros, heroin & filmmaking, rooting its horror in what is absent, elided & unseen.

A ★★★★ review of The Corruption of Chris Miller (1973)

Hooptober X: 29/32 - Country: SPAIN The killer doesn't HAVE to wear black leather gloves for a film to be a giallo so why not start the film with Charlie Chaplin as killer outfit? While I do prefer my gialli to take place in the world of fashion or similar this is still my kind of gialli. It is female lead with characters who isn't just a slasher "final girl", they have to things to overcome and explores life and have to try out new things to do so. I honestly don't need kills in these kind of films, it

A ★★★★ review of The Week of the Killer (1972)

Wow. This did not progress in a way I could have predicted. It seemed like it was going down the standard euro thriller route and ended up also being a sociopolitical anti fascist drama. The repressed homosexual angle was quite surprising, especially considering how it's not pointed at as a cause for anyone's violent actions. Extra points for actually settling into a thoughtful ending. Unexpected gem, right here.

Euro horror is, and I can confirm this, the gateway drug for art house movies and the reason why most fans of Fulci, Argento, Bava etc sooner or later have a more acquired, open-minded taste in films than any typical, generic film scholar.
