All The Colors Of The Dark (1972)

Further exploring the giallo thriller genre and loving the Bruno Nicolai soundtrack, I watched Lindsay Hallam’s recommendation, All The Colors Of The Dark (1972; Tutti i colori del buio).

A winged serpent – who does not look as realistic as it does on the poster – terrorises New York rooftop bathers, construction workers and window cleaners. Good cast of B-movie regulars like […]
