Tenebre
dir.
Dario Argento, Italy, 1982, 35mm, 101 mins, color
 After
dipping into the world of supernatural horror with Suspiria
and Inferno, renowned Italian director Dario Argento
returned to the giallo subgenre that made him famous. Tenebre
follows a writer who arrives in Rome only to find somebody
is using his novels as the inspiration for a series of grisly
murders. As the death toll mounts the police are ever baffled,
and the writer becomes more closely linked to the case than
is comfortable.
Torso
dir.
Sergio Martino, Italy, 1973, 35mm, 89 mins, color
Directed by the infamous Sergio Martino, Torso is
an underrated giallo about an American exchange student in Rome

His modus operandi? Strangling women with his red scarf. The
violence on screen is sometimes subdued, sometimes brutal, but
always terrifying.
