All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

The Bloodstained Shadow (1978)

AKA: Solamente Nero

Director: Antonio Bido

Premise:
A man comes home in an attempt to solve his nightmares and to visit his brother, who is a priest. Upon his return murders start up and are seemingly connected with that of a young girl from years ago.

My Take:
A run of the mill giallo which does have sort of a shocking twist at the end.
The setting of Vienna is a nice location and not often seen on film.

Rating: In the middle
