Giallo Films

By: Daeron

“Giallo” is mainly an Italian subgenre of thriller film. Giallo films are known for their unusual musical arrangements, convoluted whodunit plots, excessive bloodletting, sexual imagery and operatic visual style. They were made popular in the late 60’s and early 70’s by directors such as Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Sergio Martino, Lucio Fulci and Umberto Lenzi.

Here are the best giallo films available here on Mubi, according to yours truly at least. Several key entries to the genre are missing, so the list is far from complete. Still this should give you an insight to the giallo genre.

I’m a big Giallo fan; I have few films in my collection but “French Sex Murders” is more like a parody then a true Giallo film. I’m interested in early films of this genre, I understand that this classic pulp fiction aka Giallo were made in the early 60s, but these films are not release on DVD and that’s a shame.

I added another 20 titles or so. Middle part of the list is getting a bit cramped. It's hard to tell all those 2-3 star giallo films apart.

Thanks to Experim​entoFil​m's efforts I added ~10 titles. Also I've re-watched quite a few titles lately, so the top 30 saw some films go up and come down.
