Prepare your black gloves and pour yourself a glass of J&B–Cinematic Void is invading The Frida Cinema for a four film marathon that dives headfirst into the shadowy world of Giallo cinema. Join us for Giall-o-thon, a one-night-only marathon featuring four gloriously unhinged Italian thrillers from the golden age of the genre. From whispered secrets and voyeuristic danger to knives in the dark and swinging Euro decadence–this is where horror meets high fashion, and nothing is quite what it seems. The lineup for the evening is:
4:00PM – What Have You Done to Solange? (1972, dir. Massimo Dallamano)
A haunting, sexually charged mystery set in a Catholic girls’ school, where buried secrets and brutal killings unravel a web of scandal and repression.
6:00PM – Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972, dir. Lucio Fulci)
Fulci’s rural murder mystery mixes Giallo style with biting social commentary. This one cuts deeper than most.
8:00PM – The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion (1970, dir. Luciano Ercoli)
A stylish, swinging thriller soaked in sexual paranoia. With a Morricone score and a gorgeously mod aesthetic, this one’s pure Euro pulp pleasure.
9:45PM – Torso (1973, dir. Sergio Martino)
The sleaze hits overdrive in this proto-slasher classic. Violence and velvet are the name of the game–all building to a final act that is pure nightmare fuel.
There will be a 15 minute intermission between each film. Tickets are $25 for access to all 4 films. Member discounts and Frida Cinema comp passes not valid. All films presented dubbed in the English language with the exception of The Forbidden Photos, which will be in its original Italian language with English subtitles.
