The Case of the Bloody Iris (Giuliano Carnimeo, 1971) DVD Review...

Read more giallo reviews here.

With The Case of the Bloody Iris, fans of gialli will experience one of the era's best examples, particularly as it shares much of the same talent as another prime representative of the lurid murder mystery movement – The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh (Sergio Martino, 1971). Both films star Edwige (Strip Nude For Your Killer, Phantom of Death) Fenech and George (My Dear Killer, All The Colours of the Dark) Hilton, while boasting superb scripts from Ernesto (Torso, Almost Human) Gastaldi, and crystalline editing by Eugenio (Oasis of Fear, The Good The Bad and The Ugly) Alabiso. Suffice to say, if you were a fan of landmark giallo The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh, you will be treated to a similarly luxuriant banquet of sumptuous visuals, sinister chills, and otherworldly beauty...

Chronicle:
What's it about?
Three teens tumble down a veritable rabbit hole and come out the other side with telekinetic superpowers. At first it's a bit of fun, but then things take a darker turn as their powers grow and the disaffected youth in their midst slowly caves in.

Great/Good/Alright/Shite?
Written by Max Landis (yes, he is), the film kicks off with some dreadfully blunt 'found footage' tropes and some gear-crunchingly clunky dialogue - indeed, I damn-near turned the film off - but I had heard so many good things about it that I figured it must get better, and get better it does. Once the teens (mopey loner with parental problems, his arrogant cousin, and the popular jock with political aspirations) gain their superpowers, things get fun - what would superpowered teenagers do? They'd play pranks, blow up girls' skirts, and learn how to fly (the latter proving to be a spellbinding sequence that makes you wish you could fly too) ... but with the pressures of high school particularly crushing for one of the trio, things move into dark territory in a satisfying way that culminates in a thrilling finale. The biggest problem with the film though is the 'found footage' approach - I'm sick to death of this style. Yes, it's worked well in some instances, but it's so over-done now, and the biggest problems with it remain in place.
