With the giallo at its peak in the early 70s, it seemed that every filmmaker working in Italy was vying to make one and put their unique creative stamp on this highly popular genre. Presented here are a trio of early 70s gialli, all directed by filmmakers who had never made one before - or after - and all presenting wildly different approaches to the genre’s most prevalent trappings, ranging from deliriously sleazy, to high camp, to unwaveringly grim and sombre. All three films are presented in brand new and exclusive restorations of their original, uncensored, 35mm camera negatives. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the second entry in their 'Forgotten Gialli' series. THE GIRL IN ROOM 2A (1974): After being released from prison, a young woman named Margaret goes to stay at a halfway house for female ex-cons, run by the kindly Mrs. Grant. It’s not long before Margaret begins experiencing strange happenings in the old house, such as a recurring red stain on the floor. And worse, she begins to be plagued by visions of young women being tortured and murdered by a mysterious figure in a red hood. But things take an even more unsettling turn when she befriends Charlie, who is searching for his sister, who has disappeared after staying in Mrs. Grant’s house... A bizarre giallo directed by American exploitation filmmaker, William L. Rose (Rent-A-Girl) and produced by globe trotting sleaze impresario, Dick Randall (For Y’ur Height Only). THE GIRL IN ROOM 2A (or ‘House of Fear’ in Italian) plays like an American roughie that’s been dressed as a murder mystery. Chock full of surprisingly brutal torture sequences, which are juxtaposed with classic spook show horror antics, the film stars some of Italy’s cult movie stalwarts, headlined by Daniela Giordano (Bloody Friday), Rosalba Neri (Lady Frankenstein), Raf Vallone (The Godfather III), and Karin Schubert (Christina). Vinegar Syndrome is pleased to present THE GIRL IN ROOM 2A in a brand new 2K restoration of its original 35mm camera negative and in its longest and most complete version ever presented on disc! Directed by: William L. Rose Starring: Daniela Giordano, Rosalba Neri, Raf Vallone, Karin Schubert THE FRENCH SEX MURDERS (1972): Following the brutal death of a prostitute at an exclusive Parisian brothel, grizzled Inspector Fontaine is brought in to investigate. After implicating Antoine, a petty thief and regular client of the murdered woman, Fontaine believes the case to be closed. However, Antoine makes a daring attempt to escape custody, only to get decapitated in the process, after which his eyes are given over to strange Professor Waldemar for study. But soon enough those affiliated with implicating him begin to meet their own violent ends. Has Antoine's vengeful spirit returned to kill those he believes responsible for his own gruesome fate? Or has another, more sinister character been behind these diabolical murders from the very beginning? A sublimely trashy giallo produced by Dick...
