• Watch Me When I Kill | DVD | (23/02/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Just as some of Brian De Palma's most entertaining films have been tributes to Hitchcock's finest so director Anthony Bido (The Bloodstained Shadow) pulls off a brilliant homage to the early giallos of Dario Argento with this razor-sharp thriller that's also known as The Cat's Victims. When Mara (Paolo Tedesco) stops by at the chemist to pick up some painkillers she's unwittingly signed up for a prescription in terror and a world of pain for those around her! Told to come back another day little does Mara realise that the chemist is lying dead in the back of the shop and she's bought herself a stalker determined to wipe her out now that she's a witness. Bido weaves a web of one nod and a wink after another to any fan of Argento's most baroque thrillers with skilful murder set-pieces of his own and a soundtrack that could easily have been performed by Goblin. Intricate suspenseful and satisfying Bido applies his own visceral vision to the art of giallo film-making and pulls off a stunning bloodied gem.

  Antonio Bido, the man who won understandable cult acclaim with his stylish stalker-thriller BLOODSTAINED SHADOW (1978), helmed one of the defining giallo shockers in 1977's nightmarish WATCH ME WHEN I KILL. For fans of yellow-peril, golden age, Italian black-gloved killer mayhem, it does not get any better than this suspenseful murder-mystery which follows an animalistic, knife-happy maniac as he cuts and drowns his victims to prohibit a historic secret emerging. Exactly why the dead bodies are piling up confuses the authorities - but the reasoning behind this sudden slash 'em up activity proves both jarring and jaggedly horrible. And look out for an appearance from legendary Italian genre veteran Paolo Malco (THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY/ THE NEW YORK RIPPER) and a sizzling soundtrack from art prog-rockers Trans-Europe Express! Even seasoned giallo buffs are sure to embrace the many thrills and chills of WATCH ME WHEN I KILL, remastered in 4k by the Euro-gore embracing enthusiasts at 88 Films!
