The Black Belly of the Tarantula
I watched the film this afternoon and really enjoyed it. It's a pleasure to see a giallo with a genuinely human person for a lead, and Giancarlo Giannini provides an excellent performance (and is it just me, or did he play exactly the same character 30 years later in Hannibal?). While it may not have the outlandish stylings of Dario Argento's best work or even that of lesser counterparts like Sergio Martino, it is a solid story well told and with engaging performances. This was the first time I'd seen this film, and I'm glad I got to experience it on a decent DVD instead of one of the second-rate bootlegs that have been floating about.8/10
