But when the authorities refuse to believe that a crime has been committed, Valentina is forced to assume the role of amateur sleuth in order to unravel the mystery.Īlthough Ercoli only made a small number of Giallo films during his time as director, Death Walks at Midnight (with its ultra-stylized set-pieces and grisly murder sequences) would serve to forever cement his reputation within the genre. Navarro stars as Valentina, a model who, in the midst of a drug-fuelled photoshoot, witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers. The second film in Luciano Ercoli’s Death Walks series (and his third directorial effort to feature his wife Nieves Navarro, aka Susan Scott), Death Walks at Midnight is arguably the director’s masterpiece aided in no small part by the screenwriting talents of Giallo master Ernesto Gastaldi (Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, Torso). Other notable titles coming home this week include Havenhurst, Bad Kids of Crestview Academy, The Shadow People, Door to the Other Side, and .ĭeath Walks at Midnight: Special Edition (Arrow Video, Blu-ray & DVD) For those of you who may have missed seeing The Eyes of My Mother and Incarnate, both are making their home entertainment bows on March 7th, and Scream Factory is set to teach us all about pain with their new release, The Lesson. Giallo film fans should get excited, as there are two amazing special edition releases coming your way this week courtesy of Arrow Video: Death Walks at Midnight and Death Walks on High Heels.
