Blu-ray Review: All the Colors of Giallo (2019)

Giallo; the word conjures images of black gloved killers who’s identity is revealed late in the ghoulish game, POV murder shots, and stylish direction with aesthetic splendor to spare! For those not in the know, a giallo is an Italian mystery/thriller film, oft times heavy on the ol’ stalk n’ slay…not to mention female flesh…and usually featuring elements of psychological horror and the aforementioned artistic flourishes. Speaking of not in the know, you’ll be a god-damned giallo expert after you check out the subject of this revoltin’ review: Severin’s release of All the Colors of Giallo!

Speaking of that convent; that structure is a Gothic abode that would give ol’ Edgar Allan Poe a solid case of gooseflesh…but as sinister a structure as that is, the woman lording over it, Mother Superior (Carolyn Hennesy) is terror on two legs that tolerates zero disobedience…and if she encounters it her punishment is swift and unbelievably brutal (think extreme bodily harm and vomit consumption). Will Mary be able to survive her stay within those wicked walls? Genre legend Darren Lynn Bousman (along with writers Andy Demetrio, Shaun Fletcher, Sara Sometti Michaels, and Clint Sears) have really outdid themselves with St. Agatha. From the poster image, and basic
