Exploitation Films: 3. Giallo

This is the Wiki definition of an exploitation film: An exploitation film is a film that attempts to succeed financially by exploiting current trends, niche genres, or lurid content. Exploitation films are generally low-quality "B movies".They sometimes attract critical attention and cult followings.

Since we’ve been doing lots of fun list here lately, and you find out about so many movies you might have missed, I thought we might try different genres of exploitation films. For the 3rd genre lets try Giallo films. Giallo films are Italian-made slasher - mystery films that focus on cruel murders and the subsequent search for the killers. Often the killer is gloved and their identity is not revealed until the end.

Let’s start out with your five favorites.

Mine:

1. Deep Red (1975)
2. Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970)
3. Spasmo (1974)
4. All the Colors of the Dark (1972)
5. Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972)
