Giallo A Venezia

GIALLO A VENEZIA


Director: Mario Landi.
P: Gabriele Crisanti for Elea Cinematografica//Sc: Aldo Serio//DP: Franco Villa//E: Mario Salvatori//M: Berto Pisano//Costumes: Itala Giardina//Makeup: Mauro Gavazzi
Cast: Gianni Dei, Gabriele Renzulio, Eolo Capri, Maria Angela Giordan,Vassili Amesinis, Giancarlo Del Duca.



The film's parallel story line involves a sadistic serial killer and a young couple involved in twisted sex games. Fabio (Gianni Dei) can only work up the desire for his wife, Flavia, if she is getting screwed by an outside party. Flavia is repeatedly humiliated until she has had enough and decides to do in both her husband and herself.


The only reason this film gets two stars is the presence of Maria Angela Giordan (THE SECT) and the over-the-top gore sequences. Since the serial killer is easily apprehended you begin to feel his sole reason for him being here at all was to provide the film it's most spectacularly nasty death sequence involving Ms. Giordan. Very little else in this stupid film deserves merit. This rancid piece of shit is a travesty of a film. Every character in this film, except poor Flavia, makes you sick to your stomach. Even the police inspector engages in the disgusting habit of cramming hard-boiled eggs down his gullet (but why?). Berto Pisano's score sounds like it belongs in an MGM musical. Did the director arbitrarily steal from another source and shove it in wherever he felt? This film is a turd floater of immense proportions.
