just a so so giallo im afraid

June 2024

I am a huge giallo fan and try to watch any films that have any chance of being a giallo, and i was lucky enough to just stumble across this one, i had never heard of "Death falls lightly" before, which is its English title.

It started off promisingly and like a proper giallo, but unfortuanately the longer it went on the more disappointing it got and started to get a bit weird and dreamlike. I will class it as a giallo, but i would say only an average one. Truthfully very little really happens.

One positive is several actors can be recognised from these type of films, even if you dont know their names, one of them being Tom Felleghy who pops up in just about every giallo ever made and has quite a big role in this one.

I am not recommending it but if you are a giallo fan like me then you will want to watch it.

An average 6 out of 10.
