Prepare yourself for a night of mind-bending suspense and stylish horror as Cinematic Void returns to The Frida Cinema to celebrate January Giallo 2025! This year we’ve got a killer event for you, as we present the World Premiere of the 4K restoration of Short Night of Glass Dolls on a double feature with The Case Of The Bloody Iris! Thank you to our friends at Celluloid Dreams for making this all possible!

Film 1: The Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971)–The film opens with a man, Gregory Moore (played by Jean Sorel), found in a state of semi-consciousness, unable to remember how he arrived in his current predicament. Lying in a hospital bed, paralyzed and unable to speak, he is trapped in a bizarre and nightmarish reality. As Gregory tries to piece together his past and recall the events leading up to his strange condition, he becomes increasingly convinced that there is a connection between his ordeal and a string of mysterious, brutal murders. Directed by Aldo Lado.

Film 2: The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)–When a woman is found brutally murdered in her apartment, the investigation leads to a group of glamorous models and their enigmatic, wealthy suitors. The film revolves around the mystery of a series of grisly killings, each more puzzling than the last. As a detective (played by the ever-reliable George Hilton) and a private investigator (played by the mysterious and alluring Edwige Fenech) piece together the fragments of the crime, they uncover a web of deceit, obsession, and madness. The women involved all seem to be connected to the brutal murders, but as the bodies pile up, it becomes harder to decipher who is the victim and who is the killer. Directed by Giuliano Carnimeo.
