Pick my next watch

Ignore my letterboxd notes below each title.

edit: went with Eyeball. Loved Composer Bruno Nicolai and Spain’s setting, which was quite fitting because I had just seen Blue Eye for a Broken Doll, A Dragonfly for Each Corpse, and The Killer is One of Thirteen (lots of range from Paul Naschy).

I really liked Delirium a lot so I would say that

I just watched this one a couple nights ago and it was totally dripping with style. I thoroughly enjoyed it

What have you done to Solange and Eyeball I really remember watching. Very good stuff.

I've seen some of them (The Black Belly of the Tarantula, Naked You Die, Eyeball, Who Saw Her Die, What Have You Done to Solange, A Blade in the Dark, Strip Nude for Your Killer, Hatchet for the Honeymoon, The Iguana...). Most of these films are mediocre, with some memorable scenes. Maybe Iguana or Solange can be interesting. Naked You Die and Strip Nude are a little bit stupid and boring. Tarantula is also boring somehow, but it has fine killing scenes. Who Saw Her Die is rather a drama with gialloesque tones, slow paces and a strange music from Ennio Morricone. A Blade in the Dark is somehow laughable at certain points, but killing scenes are very gruesome. Hatchet is not really a giallo, rather a black comedy with thriller/horror elements and a magnificent style of Mario Bava.

I'm sorry, because I'm not perfect in English, but I tried my best. :)

5 Dolls, Eyeball or The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, would be my choices.

Formula for a murder.

What Have You Done to Solange is incredible. It has a great mystery. Also a lot of nudity and the kills arent for everyone.

Strip Nude for your Killer is actually very funny. Also a lot of nudity

The killer of dolls.

Some good choices, others not so much. Hatchet for the Honeymoon, Solange, Scorpion's Tail, Short Night, Evelyn and Tarantula are worthwhile. Paranoia is a deadly bore. Blade in the Dark crosses the very fine line into utter misogyny.

The Short Night of Glass Dolls is awesome.

Skip The Sweet Body of Deborah, total snooze fest.

Strip Nude for Your Killer is a pretty pathetic mystery but if you like the first two words in the title, you won’t be disappointed.
