Ep1027: Accademia Giallo: THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS (1972)

Kicking the Seat

It's back-to-school time, and Accademia Giallo is getting back to basics with a bona fide, bloody giallo, starring the incomparable Edwige Fenech and George Hilton!

Giuliano Gestaldi's 1972 thriller, The Case of the Bloody Iris, centers on a beautiful model who recently escaped a sex cult--only to be pursued by a serial killer whose previous victims include former occupants of her new apartment!

Join us as we return to the J&B-soaked* world of flesh, fear, and freakishness! We'll also take your questions, comments, and SuperChats live!

The Case of the Bloody Iris recently debuted on 4K, courtesy of Celluloid Dreams! Order your copy today, and get an exclusive slipcover and a set of free reproduction lobby cards!

*Turns out there's no J&B in this movie (but it's still a giallo, as we discuss in the show)!
