Ah, the old Italian masters... Bava, Argento, Fulci. Those guys fearlessly mixed sex and violence as though they were primary colors, and used them to paint off-the-wall portraits of the human psyche, forever changing the way horror is depicted on screen. Now the intrepid French filmmaking duo of François Gaillard and Christophe Robin -- whose film debut Blackaria was well received in numerous film festivals -- has crafted what looks like a feature-length homage to the great Italian pioneers in Last Caress. Check out more photos from the film and a very Nsfw trailer after the jump. Last Caress bills iteself as "The First Glam Gore Movie Ever!" While I'm...

Giallo films are usually on the artsy side of the fence, and this latest one from directors François Gaillard and Christophe Robin entitled, beautifully enough, Last Caress has all that and a bucket of gore going for it.
The flick, billed as the first glam gore film, stars Anna Naigeon, Antony Cinturino, Aurélie Godefroy, Guillaume Beylard, and Ioanna Imbert. Check out the poster, our still gallery, and the Not Safe For Work trailer below.

I'll be honest, I've never heard of François Gaillard and Christophe Robin, but recently, one of their reps fired an e-mail my way with a link to the not-safe-for-work trailer for their latest effort Last Caress along with an 8-minute promo and a handful of images. The picture is touted as "glam gore" thriller. I'll just say the trailer is relentless, heaping aggressive violence on top of vibrant settings occasionally filled with beautiful European women. Somewhere in this fever dream that's a lavish throwback to Italian giallo fare is the story of five youngsters who just wanted to spend a nice weekend amongst friends in a manor. They find a far less peaceful place than they expected when faced with a family curse and a sadistic ruthless killer. Blinded by their...
