Title: DEATH STEPS IN THE DARK (1977) Post by: The Burgomaster on November 14, 2011, 09:37:10 AM (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iU11I3NAU7Q/Ta9Da_3khII/AAAAAAAABDw/NlM6erLBfYQ/s640/death+steps+3.jpg)
Here's another decent giallo DVD-R I bought from Cinema de Bizarre. It's an excellent widescreen print, dubbed into English. The story involves a woman who is murdered on a train. The murder occurs in the midst of a small group of passengers when the train goes through a tunnel and is briefly plunged into complete darkness because the killer had tampered with some electrical wiring. The prime suspect is a photographer whose metal letter opener was used as the murder weapon. Before long, the murderer begins receiving blackmail letters from someone who claims to know his/her identity. This leads to additional bloody murders with a straight razor. Even though this is a decent movie, there aren't many unique elements to it. It's a typical, formulaic giallo and even includes a gratuitous lesbian scene (what would a giallo be without a lesbian scene?). Even though it isn't very original, it's a solid production and never gets boring. So, if you're a fan of this stuff, you might enjoy it. It also includes aging American actor Robert Webber as the police inspector. |
