The Black Belly of the Tarantula

Product Description ------------------- Based on the hit books by Kenneth Bogh Anderson, Antboy returns in this explosive sequel to the original crime-fighting blockbuster movie. Picking up where he left off, Antboy finds his world thrust back into danger when a new band of super-villains arise. The Terror Twins, created by The Flea and fueled by his sinister altering serum, wreak havoc on the city all whilst Red Fury, a friend turned dangerous foe, attacks Antboy and those closest to him in an attempt at revenge. .com ---- Black Belly of the Tarantula, following the release of Dario Argento's first feature, Bird With the Crystal Plumage, is one of the films that defined the Giallo genre's attractive blend of horror and high fashion. With a score by Ennio Morricone, direction by Paolo Cavara, and starring the handsome Giancarlo Giannini, Black Belly makes the story of a perverted serial killer who first paralyzes his victims with the poison wasps used to stun tarantulas seem cool and intriguing. This could be due to the fact that three of the killer's sexy victims went on to become Bond Girls (Claudine Auger, Barbara Bouchet, and Barbara Bach). Murders set in a massage parlor, an upscale fur shop, and in various white-sheeted beds showcase the aesthetic beauty of bloodshed. Giannini, who plays the suave inspector, sleuths his way to the killer and finally fights him with the same vampiric ferocity that a wasp attacks a tarantula. In fact, stock footage of the carnivorous insects are interspersed throughout the film for added effect. Plots in Giallo films are basic; rather, the way murders are make the films memorable. The finest scenes in Black Belly occur during the stalker's pursuit of his "prey." Women's faces smear across the screen, their makeup palettes carefully matched to the rooms in which they are sliced open. With less actual gore than some other classic Giallo films such as Perfume of the Lady In Black and All The Colors of The Dark, Black Belly of the Tarantula relies more on style than on brutal violence. For this reason, it would be a good introduction to Italian horror for those who want to avoid witnessing serious carnage. --Trinie Dalton P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review ------ "A LITTLE SEEN GEM...With Nudity, Gore And Three Bond Girls!" -- DVD Times "ESSENTIAL VIEWING FOR GIALLO BUFFS...Potent Stalk And Slash Scenes, A Bevy Of Beauties, One Of Morricone's Best Thriller Soundtracks!" --DVD Maniacs "NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING...One Of The Best Examples The Genre Has To Offer!" --10K Bullets "THE BEST GIALLO EVER MADE!" --Horrorview See more ( javascript:void(0) )
