After reading his excellent preface, I can understand why this release was needed. The Giallo genre had influenced American and British releases throughout the late sixties, Seventies, and Eighties with faint traces continuing to this day but did you know that Egypt , Turkey and Greece had some titles? The reviews are listed in the same manner : by year beginning with 1966 ,Titles , cast ,credits, synopsis and review peppered with rare color photos and fotobustas when needed. Some reviewers had sniped about how Mr. Howarth gave some films negative reviews but I find his observations to be honest and well researched. He explains why some titles were not included although over the years these films had falsely acquired the Giallo label . Films such as Director Kostas Karagiannis's 'TANGO OF PERVERSION'-1974 , Director Irvin Kershner's 'EYES OF LAURA MARS-1978, and Director Jose Marta Forque's 'TAROT'-1973 finally get their due . Its great to see Directors Joseph Larraz and Carlos Aured rubbing shoulders with John Carpenter and Brian De Palma. I was surprised to see the Vincent Price vehicle Director Jim Clark's MADHOUSE'-1974 included and after reading the review, it made a lot of sense. i was also pleased that the author acknowledged one of my favorite films Director Alan J. Pakula's 'KLUTE'=1971 which I always perceived as a first rate Americanized Giallo with a chilling performance by Charles Cioffi and was never mentioned in this category until now. So Bravo, Mr. Howarth, on a job well done and though their will probably be other books including titles you have omitted, to this fan you have definitely written the definitive tomes on the Giallo.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worthy Finale *by K***R on July 22, 2019* This book as a worthy finale to the first two volumes of this work. As the giallo morphs and revises itself since the 1970s, Howarth traces many of the international manifestations of the sub-genre. I have always loved John Kenneth Muir's HORROR FILMS OTHE 1970s and HORROR FILMS OF THE 1980s but Howarth's completed effort surpasses those works in focus and breadth simultaneously. And it is a heck of a lot of fun to read. If you are a giallo fan like me, this work is essential. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not as good as first two Volumes. *by J***Y on July 23, 2019* Not as good as first two Volumes simply because the reviews are no longer reviewing the 1970s which is the “flagship” era for Giallo. One problem with the first two volumes is the author tends to put down a lot of the moves surprisingly as you would think a guy who loves Giallo would love a lot of the movies he’s writing about but more than half of them he “grades” them as not good movies. My viewpoint is a bad Giallo movie is better than an excellent contemporary movie. The only problem is I can’t think of a bad Giallo movie. They are all excellent, every single one of them, no exceptions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/147377278-so-deadly-so-perverse-giallo-style-films-from-around-world](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/147377278-so-deadly-so-perverse-giallo-style-films-from-around-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
