Giallo Essentials Blu-ray Collection: The Forbidden Photos of A Lady Above Suspicion, Death Walks on High Heels & Death Walks at Midnight - Classic Italian Thrillers for Movie Night & Horror Film Enthusiasts

In the early 1970s, when the giallo boom was at its peak, producer-turned-director Luciano Ercoli helmed three standalone but thematically linked examples of the genre, accompanied by a rogues’ gallery of familiar and recurring faces, this trilogy of terror represents the Giallo at its most playful and unpredictable.In The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, Minou’s (Dagmar Lassander, The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire) dull but pampered life is upturned by a mysterious sadist (Simón Andreu, Death Carries a Cane) who blackmails her into submitting to his every perverted whim. In Death Walks on High Heels, Navarro stars as exotic dancer Nicole, daughter of a murdered jewel thief, who finds herself terrorized by a black-clad assailant determined to procure her father’s stolen gems. Finally, in Death Walks at Midnight, Navarro stars as Valentina – a model who, in the midst of a drug-fueled photoshoot, witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers.
