Isabella, a young model is murdered by a mysterious masked figure at a boarding house run by Max Morlacchi and his lover Countess Cristiana Como. When Isabella's boyfriend is suspected of the killing, her diary, which apparently has some incriminating evidence linking her to the killer, dissapears, the masked killer begins killing off all the models in and around the house to find the diary. Written by Anonymous
A masked killer, gruesome deaths, twist revealing at the end. Awesome. like most Brava films.
Any fan of modern day slasher films or horror films in general need to watch some early giallo films, and this is a good place to start. I'm still making my way through the list of 60's, 70's and 80's giallo films, but this and Twitch of the death nerve would be the best i've seen so far, it's amazing how films normally credited for starting the slasher genre such as Halloween, black Christmas and Friday the 13th copied these films so much.
But this is where it really started. Yes Psycho and peeping tom were already about, but any slasher fan will know, as good as those films are, they are not slasher films.
