Three of the trailers for the upcoming Blue Underground release of more Giallo movies, the only one missing here seems to be 'Pyjama Girl Case' - these all come March 28th 2006 on R1 USA DVD, as well presented as ever by the best label for truly odd movies - expect some nice little extras and superb transfers as usual. Below you will find a synopsis and Quicktime traiers to download for each of these upcoming Giallo releases, scheduled for late March 2006.
The rumoured Enzo G. Castellari Boxset has passed into myth and become three separate late-April 2006 releases of his films as separate titles, 'The Big Racket' (1976), 'The Heroin Busters' (1977), and 'Street Law' (1974). Looking forward to all of them, especially more crime / action movies like these Castellari ones. Note : due to the nature of the genre, none of these trailers are likely to be safe for work.

*EDIT* Added the trailer for 'Pyjama Girl Case' in Quicktime.
'The Black Belly of the Tarantula' by Paolo Cavara, synopsis "A deranged killer is injecting beautiful women with the poison of a rare wasp, paralyzing them and forcing them to witness their own brutal murders. Academy Award® nominee Giancarlo Giannini (SEVEN BEAUTIES, HANNIBAL) stars as the dogged detective who takes the case only to find himself trapped in a web of immortality and murder. From the tantalizingly erotic opening to its vicious stunner of an ending, experience what is considered to be one of the most riveting and acclaimed films in the entire giallo genre. Claudine Auger (THUNDERBALL, TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE), Barbara Bouchet (CASINO ROYALE, DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING) and Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, SHORT NIGHT OF THE GLASS DOLLS) co-star in this rarely-seen classic directed by Paolo Cavara (MONDO CANE) and featuring one of Ennio Morricone’s best scores ever, now transferred in High Definition from the original camera negative and available for the first time ever in America."
'Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion' by Luciano Ercoli (1970) Synopsis, "International beauty Dagmar Lassander (HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON, HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY) stars as a repressed young wife whose traumatic sexual assault triggers a depraved obsession with her attacker. But when pornography and perversion lead to blackmail and murder, passion suddenly takes a very deadly turn. For a woman enflamed by her own violent desires, is any crime too extreme? Susan Scott (PENETRATION, EMANUELLE AND THE LAST CANNIBALS) and Simon Andreu (THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE) co-star in this daringly kinky giallo directed by Luciano Ercoli (DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT), co-written by Ernesto Gastaldi (ALMOST HUMAN, TORSO), and featuring a seductive score by Ennio Morricone."
'The Fifth Cord' by Luigi Bazzoni (1971) Synopsis, "I am going to commit murder," intones the faceless killer. "I can imagine the thrill and pleasure I will experience as I stalk my victim. There must be no mistakes!" But when four trendy socialites are brutally murdered, an alcoholic reporter (a terrific performance by Franco Nero) begins to unravel a twisted trail of clues. Can this desperate journalist stop a depraved psychopath before he himself becomes the fifth victim? THE FIFTH CORD has it all: kinky sex, shocking violence, stunning cinematography by Oscarr winner Vittorio Storaro (BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE, APOCALYPSE NOW), a classic score by Ennio Morricone, and much more. Pamela Tiffin (THE PLEASURE SEEKERS), Sylvia Monti (LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN), Edmund Purdom (PIECES), Agostina Belli (REVOLVER) and Ira von Furstenberg (5 DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON) co-star in this superior giallo directed by Luigi Bazzoni now transferred from the original camera negative in High Definition and available in America for the first time ever."
No Trailer for the final one yet...
'The Pyjama Girl Case' by Flavio Mogherini (1977) Synopsis, "Based On The Infamous Real-Life Murder Case That Shocked The World! When the mutilated corpse of a young woman is found on an Australian beach, retired detective Thompson (Oscarr winner Ray Milland of THE LOST WEEKEND and DIAL M FOR MURDER) involves himself in the investigation. But before they can find the killer, the police must first identify the victim. Who was this once-beautiful girl found clad only in yellow pyjamas? Why would the authorities put her nude body on public display? What sexual depravity did she endure before her murder? And even if Thompson can crack the baffling case, will he survive to see her killer brought to justice? Mel Ferrer (THE ANTICHRIST, NIGHTMARE CITY), Howard Ross (THE NEW YORK RIPPER) and luscious Dalila Di Lazzaro (FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN, PHENOMENA) co-star in this unique giallo written and directed by Flavio Mogherini and featuring a pounding score by Riz Ortolani (MONDO CANE)."
