Watched DEATH OCCURRED LAST NIGHT, last night. What a wonderful film! I know it gets called a giallo/poliziotteschi hybrid but it felt mostly like a poliziotteschi to me. Frank Wolfe is a such a great actor and the guy who played the father of the murdered girl was equally great. I loved everything about this film and can't wait to watch it again tonight. It felt grounded and straightforward in a way few Italians films usually do."When I die, I hope to go to Accra"

Had a brain freeze (or more likely a senior moment) but his name is actually Frank Wolff...anyway, a couple other films worth watching are GOD FORGIVES...I DON'T and A STRANGER IN TOWN. Both spaghetti westerns and well worth tracking down. RINGO, THE FACE OF REVENGE is also top notch.I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.

Originally posted by Scott View PostNow that I've seen more poliziotteschi and revisited this film I can see it more as a giallo now too. SHADOWS IN AN EMPTY ROOM and WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS are also good hybrids. Are there any others hybrid poliziotteschi/giallos out there?Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?
