Luigi Cozzi crafts a gem of an anarchistic giallo, a sleazy cocktail of mean spirited violence that shows us the killer upwardly front and introduces unlikable character afterward unlikable graphic symbol. It all works though, stumbling a bit in the second deed but man, oh man... that opening setup is awesome and The Killer Must Kill Once again is easily my favorite Cozzi jam—nihilistic and nasty.
How the hell did I manage to sleep on this ane for so long? I suppose it'southward possible that I only assumed it blurred in with all the other like, oddly named giallo but that was a mistake! This isn't your typical giallo fare since we know exactly who the killer is right from the start and nonetheless I was notwithstanding pretty riveted so well done picture show.

You've got George Hilton sleazing it up nicely and Alessio Orano looking quite beautiful and and then there was this real life exchange between me and my husband while watching the motion-picture show...

Me: "Hey, it's Femi Benussi!"
Hubs: "Hey, I have no idea what those words mean."

The Killer Must Kill Again (which manager Luigi Cozzi originally wanted to title The Spider, presumably to align it with other animal/insect-based gialli, only in this rare example I think I prefer the retitle) is a monstrously miserable son-of-a-bowwow of a motion picture, and I say that having seen plenty gialli in particular and enough Years of Atomic number 82 movie theater in full general to know that this is a fucked-up fourth dimension and identify for cinema; the baseline misery is already through the roof. The bones of the film's skeletal narrative framework are fairly familiar — an inadequate, cheating married man concocts an inheritance scheme to screw his wealthy wife out of her and her family's money — but the flesh and muscle…
Luigi Cozzi'south 1975 Giallo is a total tonal oddity, i that had me grimacing or giggling from scene to scene, feeling like a bewildering and comical nightmare.

Opening with a very creepy looking killer every bit he plunks a dead woman in the passenger side of a machine, then proceeds to go into the driver's side, and then slowly grab her breast, and drive away, we know this is going to be total of some heinous antics....
now cue those opening credits and boom me away with that swinging Giallo theme! I was, no lie, actually headbanging to this proggy jazz number as it took off.

The bodily meat of the story is this: George Hilton hates his wife. George Hilton comes…
Sly, slick, and wicked giallo prepare in Milan with a lot of attention to motives that more often than not revolve around either sex activity or money, just with a killer who should be unhinged but is actually as cold as ice in the mix trailing a stolen Mercedes with the body of the adult female he killed in its body. Dead woman, Mercedes Benz, two young lovers joyriding in the Mercedes, and the killer who now must impale again.. The plot never lets you forget the dirty bargain that set information technology in move. It's like an Italian giallo in which "Fargo" meets "Psycho".
Don't read the plot summary hither on Letterboxd. It summarizes the unabridged movie. Here's all the setup you demand: George Hilton witnesses a killer dumping a body and blackmails him into murdering his wife.

Unlike most giallo, there'south no mystery surrounding the killer's identity. This is more of a straightforward thriller as the killer deals with complications that arise and Hilton tries to get abroad with information technology while nether police investigation. Information technology's quick-paced, sleazy and brutal. I've enjoyed all the Cozzi movies I've seen but I wish he did more in this style.
The Killer Must Kill Once more turns the Giallo genre on its head by showing the killer correct from the outset; significant that the film has to derive information technology's thrills from the plot rather than from revealing the mystery of the killer. Argento protégé Luigi Cozzi crafts a fine thriller; sort of a sleazy varient on the set up from Punch M for Murder. Every grapheme in the film is completely immoral, leaving the audience to have to sympathise with the least bad character in every exchange. The plotting takes a bit of a downturn at times; the final deed is the least thrilling but the film remains interesting for the most function. It's a beautiful film to look at and anything with Christina Galbo in it is certain to exist easy on the heart! It'south maybe non quite a classic but The Killer Must Impale Once again is a must come across for Giallo fanatics.
"Got a light?"

The Killer Must Impale Again.
Tell me that title isn't tricky as fuck!
This really surprised me, considering it'southward not your traditional accept on the giallo genre at all, ane that doesn't follow any rules any. We see who the killer is minutes in and information technology didn't really accept away much from the film as a whole.

Basically the story follows an cheating husband & rich married woman arguing over scandalous phone calls & coin...husband ends upwardly leaving and witnesses a man disposing of a automobile with a body in information technology. The hubby blackmails the human being into killing the rich wife for $20,000! Later the deed is done, the killer puts her body in the body of a car, but…
A film that shows the peachy lengths men will get to in society to A) have sex and B) get money. It besides shows the lengths that women will take to A) dice and B) have sex or get raped (l/50 shot), or C) testify they can't bulldoze (100%, even dead women are put behind the wheel and pushed into a canal).

This is a pretty fun, if nasty, giallo starring George Hilton as a desperate husband, the killer he'southward hired who's face up is a thinly skinned skull, a car theif with a bad example of bluish assurance, an inspector who's smug and doesn't empathize inner monolog, three expressionless women and a poor young lady who might wish she was…

My Giallo List
*********************************************

This is some other underseen giallo that'due south been on my personal listing for a while. Finally gave upwards on tracking down a reasonably priced copy of the DVD anywhere and found it available on Amazon to stream (in an English dub in poor quality, only only $1.99).

While it features genre stalwart George Hilton as all the same some other smarmy, scheming womanizer, that'south where the Giallo conventions pretty much end. We know who the killer is from the beginning scene and he'southward absolutely riveting equally played by Antoine Saint-John.

This is a sleazy, nasty and thrilling matter. The picture show starts with a plan for the killer to —…
This ostensible giallo from "Starcrash" manager Luigi Cozzi is far from terrible; what it has going for it is a moody score past "Seven Beauties" composer Nando De Luca, and Antoine Saint-John as the epitome of 'guy you would non want to encounter in a night alley' (the man has a helluva bone structure). Unfortunately, the film's less interesting B plot, about a young couple who makes the poor life choice of stealing the killer's car, takes over the centre of the film, and in a genre based on visual flair Cozzi fails to distinguish himself behind the camera.
A giallo of only moderate involvement, helplessly spoiled by a pretty bad editing and barely benefited from a good acting chore by 25-twelvemonth-old veteran Cristina Galbó. Sadly, because it had potential.

Sort of predating poor William H. Macy's cunning predicament in Fargo, a womanizing businessman gets a vicious killer (the creepy Antoine Saint-John in the movie's other respectable performance) to strangle his rich wife and go far all await as a kidnapping. The trouble is that, the anemic mission having been washed, a couple of youngsters (Galbó'due south teenage grapheme and her young man, who intends to deflower her) suddenly rob the motorcar with the trunk already within the torso.

The suspense dilutes at so many places, the viewer feels almost as…
