Shameless Bringing Infamous Giallo THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS to UK Blu-ray
For the uninitiated, giallo is a subgenre of horror movies and literature that originated in Italy and peaked in popularity during the 1970s. Giallo films usually fall into the categories of slasher, crime fiction, psychological thriller, psychological horror, exploitation, and sexploitation while only rarely crossing into supernatural territories (the works of Dario Argento being an obvious exception).
Now, the folks at Shameless Films are resurrecting the infamous giallo classic The Case of the Bloody Iris on Blu-ray and DVD; it’s a UK release, so US fans looking to add it to their collections will need to own a region-free player. Here’s the full scoop from today’s press release:
First, they brought you THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS WARDH and then ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK. Now, Shameless proudly presents giallo’s own royalty, the iconic Fenech-Hilton dream team, in their third sensuous outing: THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS.
After two beautiful women are murdered in an apartment block, Jennifer (Edwige Fenech) and Marilyn (Paola Quattrini) move into the flat of one of the slaughtered girls. But before long, the unknown predatory pervert soon turns his salacious attention to the gorgeous Jennifer. The list of suspects includes a woman and her deformed son, a crazy lesbian and even Jennifer’ s own lover.
Serenaded with Bruno Nicolai’s enrapturing score and featuring lush cinematography from Stelvio Massi, this long-sought-after 70s sleaze gem, directed by Giuliano Carnimeo (RATMAN), is now available for your delectation.
