8. One On Top Of The Other (1969)
One On Top Of The Other aka Una Sull'Altra aka Perversion Story (my personal favourite title) marks Fulci's first footsteps into the Giallo genre. It was filmed in California and boasts a cast of some of European cinema's finest stars. It also boasts a seriously groovy score from Riz Ortolani. Apparently inspired by Hitchcock's Vertigo, Fulci is unable to match the achievements of Mario Bava or Dario Argento in the annals of Italian Gialli but he nonetheless churned out an entertaining little thriller about infidelity, blackmail, jealousy and duplicity. The plot, like most Giallo films, is too complex to involve you in right now or we would be here until the cows come home, but it is standard Giallo fare. A very different film to which Fulci is famous for, One On Top Of The Other is an enjoyable but minor entry into the Giallo genre.
