Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971)
Italy
aka 4 mosche di velluto grigio
Director: Dario Argento
Starring: Michael Brandon, Mimsy Farmer, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Bud Spencer
Hold on kiddies, 'cuz this is it!!! Dario Argento's elusive Four Flies on Grey Velvet--his one major Giallo film that remains unreleased to this day...why? Only some suits in a smokey room know for sure but it damn sure isn't for quality reasons. This has long been the Hex's favorite Argento slasher film - sure others have more gimmick and blood...but this one has pure dripping style BABY! A perfect mix of go-go party and psychological horror! Oh, and did we mention the best film ending since Planet of the Apes? Got your attention now? Yea, we thought so...co-written by none other that Luigi Cozzi of Starcrash fame!
This film has been released on DVD or overwise. It is no longer available to download here but we highly recommend buying your own copy. |

Interestingly this is a slightly different cut than a pirate copy I have on VHS ... but it's quite satisfactory until Paramount either releases it on DVD or sublets it out. I saw this when it was new and the denouement when the source of "four flies" and the killer's insane explanation have remained vividly in my memory for 35+ years. (PS - How about "The Road to Salina"?

Luminous video still are the worst supplier of crappy vhs rarities on the planet. At least when Don Farmer was selling rare vhs tapes he had good quality ones. There is a great version of this @ http://www.revengeismydestiny.com Go there to get the real thing.
