Retroslashers just published one of the first reviews of Dario Argento’s latest film, Giallo, which you can check out here. You actually didn’t think we had the “first” review did you? That would require effort, a foreign word to Horror Yearbook and its staff.

The film was written by Jim Agnew, who brought us the very underrated Soulkeeper, and Sean Keller. It stars Adrien Brody, Emmanuelle Seigner, Elsa Pataky, and Robert Miano, and obviously it was directed by Dario Argento.

“Whilst Giallo may lack originality or that classic Argento feel, it is still an enjoyable, if flawed, experience. The cinematography is seductively shot by Frederic Fasano and the gore is plentiful; with slit throats, crushed skulls and severed lips contributing to the blood flow. Once again, most of the victims are beautiful women which may provoke the usual accusations of misogyny, but Avolfi’s utter disgust at the killer’s actions steers the film away from simple exploitation.”
