Hatchet for the Honeymoon (Il rosso segno della follia)
A superb movie: here we haven't to know who's the serial killer but WHY he's acting so...Police knows he's the killer and they have just to find the way to trap him... Bava did a magnificent camera work and the plot is great...it fascinated me. It's a psycologic thriller with that touch of unexplaining situations, (i.e. as Whip and the Body) there are apparitions of ghost..weird ...it's weird when other ppl they should see a ghost and John can't see it...is it a trap of the police or is it his mind which is refusing to see?
It's John who feel the terror, the horror of the situation, step by step. He can't stop himself to kill his models who want to leave him : he must know the truth!
I'll never leave you...i'll never leave you: is it his wife who speaks or his mother??
A neverending trip into madness.

PS: Bava put a little tribute: some stills from 'Black Sabbath' on the TV! and i've listened some drivin organ theme too...nice!

L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo (The Bird With the Crystal Plumage)
The first and best (for me) 'giallo' of Argento. Here starts his legend: a complicated plot with surprise at the end, a witness on the scene of the crime and the knives...knives for a killer who has dark dress , dark hat ,dark gloved ... (here Argento copied Bava, a nice tribute anyway). Argento adds gore and obsessive music during the murders. Sam, the witness , is the first suspected from the police but then he's the one who take the risks to discover the truth . He has just to remember that small detail...a small important detail. Argento did a nice job, score and cast of actors it's really good : Tony Musante and E.M.Salerno (very popular in Italy) are excellent actors and S.Kendall is hot. I wish to repeat myself: i like those 4-5 movies of Argento, surely, but he has been too much overated.
