BATH BOMB - Violence: Giallo Style!

Giallo is a hybrid cinematic subgenre developed in Italy in the late 60s and early 70s that served as a direct precursor to the American Slasher. The subgenre is known for its elaborately choreographed scenes of violence and eroticism that might best be described as the perfect intersection of arthouse and grindhouse.
Though Giallo was often dismissed as mere exploitation by contemporary critics, the subgenre was crafted by some of Italy’s most legendary talents. Global cinematic icons such as composer Ennio Morricone, cinematographer Vittorio Storraro, and directors Dario Argento, Mario Bava, and Lucio Fulci helped shape GIallo’s signature look, sound, and atmosphere.

My favorite element in the scene presented here is the use of "silence." I put it quotes because it's not true silence, but rather a lack emotional audio queues used to trigger emotional responses prior to the scenes climatic event. I've always been a fan of using silence to build tension and here it is done well.

Dario is indeed the master of giallo. No one did it better

These films are masterpieces beautiful but brutal.

Very tense scene. I definitely feel like some modern slashers are missing sequences where there’s just the question of when the knife will drop
