The Podcast Under the Stairs – 88 FILMS ITALIAN COLLECTION SERIES – DISC 6 – A BLADE IN THE DARK

Welcome to the next instalment of our sub-set of show exclusively looking at the Italian Collection releases of 88 Films.

88 Films have, for the last 2 years or so, have been on a tear releasing a torrent of Italian genre classics in high definition. I have been purchasing them and it should be no surprise to anyone, I have left them pretty much unwatched (what can I say…I’m a compulsive collector).

In order to watch the movies I buy, and of course create some quality content for you all Under the Stairs, I will be running through each of the movies on this bonus series between 1-2 movies a month depending on the TPUTS schedule.

So strap yourself in for a rollercoaster ride of alleged plagiarism, zombies, gore, rape, genital mutilation, sexism, revenge, gialli, cops and robbers, cannibalism, sci fi & more bush and titties than an annual subscription to Penthouse magazine.

Disc 6 in the 88 Films Italian Collection is a giallo which really swings for the fences in not only competing for the title of most violent gialli but also a movie which goes out its way to buck many of the genre main stay trends while holding reverence to the overall spirit of the genre. Thats right folks it’s A Blade in the Dark (1982) by Laberto Bava.

The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn’t Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved It

Up next on the Italian Collection Series is Disc 7 – Anthropophagous (1980).
