19. The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)
I rather prefer the film's original title: What Are These Strange Drops Of Blood On Jennifer's Body? But we can't have it all our own way. This film melds horror and Giallo in a beautiful way which is unsurprising seeing that its leading lady is the irresistible Giallo screen siren - Edwige Fenech. The plot basically concerns an apartment and women being slashed to death by a maniac, Jennifer (Fenech) is being stalked by the killer and there are many suspects... Given a release by Beyond Terror, this film is now available in the UK after many years of a drought. We can watch one of the most competent Giallos and appreciate the fantastic score by Bruno Nicolai. There is tons of naked flesh, brutal murders and red herrings for you to get your teeth into. An excellent piece of Giallo.
