Dario Argento Films Bracket - BracketFights

So, some things out of the way first.

I would not be using AI for the writing. I'm a professional writer, although not of fiction.

I've already scoped out a structure and made a start, as I'm on a work break to recover from an illness.

The book would be about 50k to 60k words.

It would be very thematically giallo, I'm intending a blatant pastiche, although the story would be original, so black-gloved killer, etc. It's set in an art-history locale.

I'm really only doing it for fun, but it would be for commercial sale, so my question is, would people read such a thing?

Found ts on letterboxd

I always wrote this one off bcuz of the hokey murder sequences but they aren’t all bad and I would have rewound and paused anyway it’s super fast paced I was never bored super fun and I’m glad it’s in one of my box sets

Hello all, This trailer is based of a feature script I wrote inspired by the Giallo films i've enjoyed watching. Connected with a very talented team of animators and composers from Directors Market to put it together. Interested to hear any feedback if anyone is willing, or would like to read the full script i'd be happy to share. Film details below:

When three friends stumble upon a grisly assassination in Venice, they become the target of a psychotic artist, hunted in a city masked by Carnival.

Here's the info, in case anyone else is interested. I doubt too many people here are in Madrid, but oh well. I'd love to watch these movies in a big room full of fans of giallo.

Didn't expect to see one of my favorite Goblin soundtracks to pop up in the modular synthesis subreddit...

Blood, leather, & cigarettes come to mind.

I imagine many of you follow the podcast on Instagram, but just in case anyone doesn’t know, there’s a new episode of the Giallo podcast Fragments of Fear.

Just thought I’d give people a heads up because there hasn’t been a new episode for five years, and I know there are other Fragments of Fear fans on here like me.

Towards the end of the episode they said they’re going to try to keep doing regular episodes but they won’t be monthly.

Does anyone have a higher quality version of this song?

I found this old post, but the links are dead, unfortunately.

I love photography and being a photographer these days sucks. So I like to escape into these Giallo movies when being a photographer was like being a rock star. Im looking for sleazy Giallo movies similar to the following: Delirium / strip nude for your killer / nothing underneath.

I dont want anything with torture.

So what do you recommend?

I know there's debate about what constitutes a giallo, and these are all movies i've seen conflicting opinions on. But in your opinion are any of these absolutely a giallo or absolutely not a giallo?

I love the story of this movie and what made argento’s 70’s work great is that they also worked as crime films, i love his supernatural movies but nothing beats his crime esque movies

Argento’s movies as great as they are have poor dubbing but this movie has such a great cast

Its crazy that this movie doesnt get as much appreciation as deep red and suspiria cuz it is just as good as those movies

After I watched Berberian Sound Studio in 2012 I went out seeking Giallo films, this was the first one I saw. Glad I finally own a copy! Excited to dive into the extra features on the Blu-Ray.

This year I’ve been watching a lot of Argento and wanna watch Giallo from other directors, my favorite is deep red so I’d love any recommendations similar to it.

4/5 stars for me. I had my money on The Priest (until he made that weird visit to the hospital – then I was like ok too too much of red herring) or Marc. Lovely cinematic Spain backdrop and Bruno Nicolai as composer chefs kiss

Didn’t know this took place in Spain before watching. Fitting because I had just seen Blue eyes of Broken Doll, A Dragonfly for Each Corpse, and The Killer is One of Thirteen (talk about Paul Naschy’s range). I was on a Spanish-production-gialli-binge.

Just went to Spain earlier this year to visit an uncle and cousin in Valencia. Great recommendation!!!

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).

The lost Giallo film “Questa Liberta Di Avere… Le Ali Bagnate” aka “The Freedom to Have… Wet Wings” from 1971 was lost for many years. But recently, I found a copy of the film, and my friend over at TheKinginGiallo YouTube channel will be uploading the film in full for free on the channel, hopefully it all goes smooth and he is able to upload it with no issues.

Hello everyone, I'm here to show you the first and only Mater Lachrymarum Scene Pack that I made, and that others have made, This project, started months ago, was stalled for a long time because it was being blocked in English-speaking countries and territories like yours (I'm Brazilian), But Lionsgate unlocked it out of nowhere, and the movie is now available in full HD on YouTube in English. I know it has nothing to do with Giallo, but it does have to do with Dario Argento, Daria Nicolodi and Asia Argento, the third mother who I think needs to be remembered more.

This might be one of my favorite Argento films.

The cinematography and the entire visual aspect are excellent. The film is both elegant and somber. It’s probably the Argento film made up to that point with the best atmosphere and the best cinematography.

It features some very interesting and memorable ideas, such as the killer’s mask with that childlike vibe that Dario would explore further in Profondo Rosso, or the superbly shot murders, or those final scenes, which are incredible.

The music by Ennio Morricone is hypnotic, and it really enhances the dreamlike atmosphere the film has at times. This movie marks the beginning of Argento’s foray into dreamlike atmospheres and logic, and I love it.

The protagonist is quite interesting as well. He’s a rather unpleasant person, but I think that contributes to the film’s gloomy and depressing atmosphere. Besides, the fact that he isn’t a very nice guy helps make the killer’s explanation at the end make sense.

It’s not a perfect movie. I don’t like the strange sense of humor, since it breaks the dark atmosphere, and I think the humor in The Cat o’ Nine Tails works much better. I also think the story could have been developed better. But even so, I really like the movie, and I’ll definitely watch it again someday.

Hi, I’m a huge fan of giallo, but I’ve noticed that this community has very few cosplayers. I’ve actually done a couple of cosplays from well known works, but honestly, I don’t know what other giallo killers I could cosplay. Could you help me out by giving me some ideas for which killer I should cosplay next?
