All The Colours Of The Dark aka Tutti I Colori Del Buio [Blu-ray]

If you like that 70's Italian horror - slaughter - suspense /mystery giallo your dig this. And Edwige Fenech is much an outstanding heroine leading lady. I could watch her even with her clothes on !!

Wonderful transfer, italian audio (and as italian, for me is a must)... very good release, I hope they will release others blu-ray like this one :)

'All the Colours of the Dark' (Tutti I colori dei Buio) A/K/A 'They're Coming to Get You,' is a Sergio Martino film which was made and released back in 1972, and is an Italian / Spanish co-production set in and around London. It identifies with the traditional Italian Giallo genre of film albeit borrowing influences from the 1955 French thriller 'Les Diabolique,' as well as Roman Polanski's 1968 film 'Rosemary's Baby.'The title is rather ambiguous and the film is shot in such away that at times you're not quite sure if you're witnessing nightmarish dreams or, current reality, as the central character Jane (played by the drop dead gorgeous, with a body to die for, Edwige Fenech) is suffering from postpartum depression, following an earlier car accident involving her and her partner Richard (played by George Hilton), which resulted in her suffering a miscarriage.After the opening film credits and the dark dusky shots die away, the film immediately grabs your attention as we witness Jane having one of her bizarre nightmares involving a pregnant woman with her legs resting in stirrups, and a grotesque woman / mannequin suddenly appearing, as she is lying on the bed naked and dream like before getting stabbed to death and the pregnant woman also slain!Jane wakes up realizing she was experiencing another nightmare and goes for a shower. Richard comes home to find her in a bit of a state and says that she hasn't been taking her medication again. At this point you're left wondering whether Richard maybe involved in attempting to get her committed into an asylum.In addition, Jane feels that she is being stalked in real life by her killer from her nightmare (played by another Giallo regular, Ivan Rassimov), the stranger with piercing blue tinted eyes.Jane's sister Barbara (played by Susan Scott) works for a London psychiatrist and recommends that she should be seen by him to help her overcome her fragile state of mind, and for her to stop taking the vitamins that her partner has been feeding her.As the film develops and Jane's nightmares begin to turn into reality, people start dying and the film heads into the realms of satanic devil worshiping but, all is not what it seems.......'All the Colours of the Dark' is released by Shameless, in its yellow sleeve cover (Giallo). The film is good quality and has been restored to the director's original uncut version in an attempt to convey that one or two of Jane's dreams are actually, premonitions which comes into play near the end of the film.There is a fascinating interview with the director, and an audio commentary by two female film critics / reviewers throughout the entire playing of the film which I found annoying rather than helpful, as they were not explaining or helping the viewer to understand what the director was intending rather, coming out with a lot of general chit chat about various things surrounding the making of the film.An added bonus is a short film called 'Doors' shot by another director, in Macedonia, about a woman getting trapped in the space between her outer external apartment door and her inner internal door, both doors having key locks, and her front door keys are dangling in the lock from the outside! Worth a look.

Very good thanks I will buy again from you soon thanks from a very satisfied customers

One of the many things I enjoy about the giallo genre is that whilst the structure is similar with each film, the overall style can be infused with various other flavours. Here, the horror/thriller style is given a kind of ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ treatment, with the incredible Edwige Fenech playing Jane, who appears to becoming immersed into the world of the occult (this is a far more successful melding of genres than ‘A Black Ribbon for Deborah’ two years later).Traumatised by the loss of her unborn child, Jane begins seeing the image of an impossibly blue-eyed man. As time goes on, this figure tries to kill her, and desperately lonely with her husband away for his work, she befriends nearby mysterious and condescending Mary (Marina Malfatti), who promises that if Jane attends a Black Mass ceremony, all her problems will vanish. As solutions go, it was never going to work. The blue eyed figure, now wielding a knife, warns her not to renounce the group.Looking fabulous, poor Jane is catapulted from one nightmare to another, with partner Richard (George Hilton) turning up to save her. However, could he become ensnared in the cult too? You would hope not. Incidentally, in a sadly brief role as Jane’s sister Barbara is Nieves Navarro (here billed as Susan Scott), a million miles away from the carefree characters she played in ‘Death Walks… ‘ giallos from the early 1970s.Beautifully directed in an occasionally hallucinogenic fashion by Sergio Martino, and mesmerizingly scored by Bruno Nicolai, ‘All the Colours of the Dark’ features a typically exciting climax. If you like giallo films, you’ll like this. If you’re uninitiated in the genre, I’d recommend it without question.

This disc won't play in my blu ray player. A problem I have had with another Shameless disc but not one from any other company. Pity as its a great film.

Although giallo may be a cult genre, not all giallo lives up to cult status. This is certainly one such film.Jane is a woman with a tragic past, living in a world split between nightmares and reality, and being stalked with a knife threatening, blue-eyed stranger. A number of cures are offered to her, the most drastic being initiated within a group of satanic worshippers. Some reviewers have labelled the film “Hitchcockian”, though that would be a slight as Sergio Martino’s direction fails to create any real suspense but, instead, results in a rather ponderous 91 Minutes. As a 100% dedicated film enthusiast, I watched the film to its conclusion in the hope of the plot receiving a startling upthrust but no such luck. But, apart from delectable Edwige Fenech giving a very watchable performance as the tormented heroine, and the film being given top quality restoration, Shameless has got much better giallo in its catalogue.

Fans of Edwige Fenech will want to have this film in their collections, however I found it to be very disappointing. The plot switched so often between fact and fantasy that it became irritating. The main character spent a lot of time just running round looking scared, evoking annoyance rather than sympathy. The black mass scenes were merely revolting and lacked the tension normally associated with these occasions. The settings were adequate and the music nondescript. The best scene was right at the end, on a rooftop where the chimneys made an interesting backdrop. It being on the roof of course you knew that one of the characters would... you guessed it. Overall, in terms of plot, characters, setting and music, there are much better films out there.
