Some dvd news and X-rated zine focusing on giallo




Yeah, several months have passed without an update, so I'll gather news already discussed on Elitisti discussion board.

Code Red have released Armando Crispino's L'etrusco uccide ancora aka Etruscan Kills Again aka Dead Are Alive. Review can be read on DVD Drive-in. It was previously released as a bootleg by Eurovista, and in Germany where it was included in Bryan Edgar Wallace 3 collection. Good news indeed.

Lucio Fulci's Lizard in a Woman's Skin has seen an UK release, and DVD Beaver has done some comparison.

The last news is targeted mostly for Finnish audience. Nowadays when everything is in internet, it gives me a great pleasure when someone is still making zines. The excellent Finnish X-rated zine has always been focusing on European genre films, but the number 12 is even better when having a long article on giallo. The another article on Italian crime and police film is in my opinion even better as the films included are maybe a little more obscure than the gialli, as the ever-growing Giallos on DVD list proves. Those familiar with X-rated know what to expect and won't be disappointed. You will also get the instructions on how to paint your walls. When I'll have enough space to be able to dedicate my living room for drinking J&B only, those instructions will be handy. More info (in Finnish).
