Product description
Dark 1977 Italian Giallo horror directed by Antonio Bido. Mara (Paola Tedesco) is on her way home when she decides that she needs to buy some painkillers. What she does not realise, when she enters the pharmacy, is that the person behind the counter is a murderer and the pharmacist is dead. Things take an even darker turn when Mara finds herself being stalked by the killer, who is determined to eliminate the only witness to his crime. Mara and her boyfriend Lukas (Corrado Pani) find themselves sinking deeper into a mystery which is much more than an ordinary murder.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2016Oh yeah an excellent 'giallo' the very British detective stories. Given an Italian twist of the tale, a kick in the gut and a blade in between the ribs. Aunt Agatha at the butcher's shop. Sexy OTT and fine if you can take it. And suffer much awful American dubbing.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2017very good film well directed I enjoyed film a lot thanks
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2015Okay Italian thriller - not one of the best giallo thrillers but still watchable.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2012When a young woman named Mara stumbles upon the murder of a pharmacist, she quickly becomes the killer's next target. After a lucky escape in which a neighbour's dog causes the killer to flee from her house, she decides to go and stay with her friend and possible ex-lover, Lukas. Through nothing but sheer coincidence, Mara is next attacked in the underground car park in which Lukas' neighbour, Giovanni Bozzi, seems to have been the intended target. As Lukas begins to investigate, he soon realises that bodies are turning up and they all seem to be connected. Just as Lukas thinks he has it figured out, he finds himself back at square one, with the killer ever closer to completing his task.
All the actors do a good job, the director admitted that he mainly chose his actors because of their look, but made sure they could act as well. Corrado Pani and Paola Tedesco have good chemistry as Lukas and Mara, they both give good performances and bounce of each other nicely. I really enjoyed the look and performances of the supporting cast, especially the thin, pale and balding Bozzi played by Fernando Cerulli. It's masterfully directed by Antonio Bido, he later went on to direct the even better, Bloodstained Shadow. Although the film is heavily inspired by the Dario Argento films that were popular at the time, Bido has a different style to Argento, something he improved upon even further with his next film. This was Bido's directorial debut, and it's as accomplished as any I've seen. The original script was very different to what we ended up with, the script was revised to resemble Argento's films without Bido's knowledge, something which almost caused him to walk away from the film. Showing a braveness that most first time directors wouldn't even dream of, he argued against the changes and they came to a compromise. Bido would make the film from the new script, as long as certain scenes from the older script also made the film. The music in the film is also clearly inspired by Goblin who did the music for Argento's films, the soundtrack is so similar to that of Deep Red that it almost verges on plagiarism. There's no nudity as Bido claims that sex on film is pointless if it doesn't add to the plot, something I'm inclined to agree with. There's not much blood and gore, but there are some really good kill scenes. There's a scene in which a woman has her face forced into a hot stew, and a fantastic death scene with a man in a bath tub with operatic music booming out.
Shameless Screen Entertainment have produced another excellent DVD, and unlike many of their others, this one has quite a few interesting extras. There's a reversible sleeve with one of the film's alternative names, The Cats Victims. There's a commentary track in the form of subtitles, it's got plenty of decent information but has some very long pauses from time to time. Watch Me When I Tell is a twenty minute interview with Antonio Bido, it's subtitled as he speaks Italian but it's very interesting. He seems quite regretful that he only made two gialli, as he didn't really like them at the time but has grown very fond of them over the years. He also explains in the interview why the picture quality isn't as impressive as many of Shameless' other releases, he chose to shoot the film using something called Gevaert colour instead of Kodak. Gevaert gave the colours a more washed out and faded look compared to Kodak, but it continues to lose colour and definition over the years and lost its original quality. So the slightly faded and washed out look has nothing to do with the transfer from Shameless, it was a problem with the original film stock and this is the best the film will ever look, which I thought for the most part was pretty nice anyway. There's a very brief introduction to the film from Bido, a picture gallery, a few trailers for the film and finally as on all their DVDs, trailers for other films released by them.
Watch Me When I Kill/ The Cats Victims is a very solid but unspectacular giallo, that was inspired by but not as good as Dario Argento's early classics. Everything it imitates from Argento and Goblin is done very well, and Bido brings his own class and style to it. I'd be quite surprised if Argento fans found nothing to like about the film, especially the chase sequences, music and bath tub scene. I feel this film is well worth adding to the collection anyway, but the twenty minute interview from Bido made this a must have for me. He seems like a really fun and genuine man, and hopefully one day we'll see him return to the genre in which he already has two very good efforts.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2015good service but didn't realize it was a Video thought it was a DVD so cant watch it my fault
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2012A decent old school giallo film. Puts many of todays films to shame and is entertaining. Another good Shameless release.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2015Nice item nice price
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2016Nice late Giallo with some obvious Dario Argento and Mario Bava influences. DVD quality is probably the best this will ever look since the source materials are said to be lost. Same image quality as my X Rated DVD. Difference is this one's Anamorphic and has some better extras. Recommended if you want to look further than Bava, Argento, Fulci and Martino.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite possibly Synapse's best release yet!
Amazing job for an amazing film!
The film: As derivative as it may strike some, this movie has a consistent pace throughout, thanks mostly to the crafty editing. There's also witty dialogue, -if maybe a little too quirky-, a competent cast, amazing visuals and perhaps one of the top three soundtracks for a film this type.
A detail maybe worth nothing is Aldo Serio's involvement on the script. He's the same guy who wrote Giallo a Venezia. No matter how exploitative Giallo may be, I think it gets way more trashing than it deserves and has some brilliant moments in the writing department, if not over abundant...
This movie, only available up until recently on DVD in atrociously plain bad, murky, grainy, ininteligible sounding, panned and scanned transfer from VCI, has never looked and sounded this good. Makes all the difference in the whole wide world. There was actually one of the best crafted Italian gialli ever beneath a seemingly amateur and carelessly done movie.
This is the second film I see in Gevacolor released recently; the other one being The Killer of Dolls by Mondo Macabro. Maybe the whole reason for that was leading lady Paola Tedesco; which I'm familiar with as Salomé in Passolini's the Gospel According to Matthew and The Streetcar, an episode from Dario Argento's TV series Door into Darkness directed by himself under the alias Sirio Bernadotte. She has a very unique beauty, wears the most colorful and textured clothing you could imagine and changes hairstyles almost in every sequence... I wanna say this flick has the right look for the right leading lady!
Speaking of looks, this film may be derivative, but not only from Argento's first three films. This and the equally good Bloostained Shadow seem to owe a great deal to Pupi Avati's the House of the Laughing Windows. He uses the same leading man from House in Solamente Nero, as the latter was known in Italian. The scenes in the dressing room do also echo Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace. Derivative as it maybe, B. Dobb has all three of them's chops down to the smallest detail. That in and on itself, takes a lot of skill...
The Gevacolor also works for the "hypothetical" Padua "Tony B. Dobb" speaks of in interviews in the second half of the movie; the more "influenced" by Avati's portrayal of "provincial" Italy. This setting is full of dark corridors, antiques, freaky looking and behaving people and maté, wooden textures and colors. Is indeed nightmarish and impressionist.
Corrado Pani, who I'm sure I've seen somewhere else, creates an interesting and well rounded detective character. Franco Citti from Passolini's films has a short, but substantial intervention as the underdog used as scapegoat. Even Gianfranco Bullo, the weird, mentally challenged character from Bloodstained Shadow, stamps his mark here.
A very young Paolo Malco, which may be seen in some of Fulci and Castellari's most recognizable films, stands out from the rest of the male cast. There are no cats to be found in the movie and one would think the original title comes entirely from Argento's second film. However, Malco's character makes a reference to the Cheshire Cat, which I infer is the reason behind the movie's title...
Yep, Trans Europa Express soundtrack is derivative of Giorgio Gaslini and Goblin's Deep Red. However, the instrumentation, which includes electric violins, vibes, exotic percussion and other unusual sounds, evolves from prog into fusion and even avant-garde in places and is, most definitely, not without originality by any means. Bottom line, it f*** rocks!!!!!! It is included on CD as an extremely welcome extra in the package which, in turn, I got at discount price for ordering ahead of time; something like over ten bucks less its original price.
The story touches upon World War II and Italy's involvement in it. Nothing short of interesting and unusual for a giallo. Even strikes me as relevant for current times...
The release: So far, I've only checked Mikel Coven brilliant defense for the film and some of the gorgeous, baroque short films of Mr. B. Dobb. There are a couple more extras to go. It's way beyond my understanding why B. Dobb's filmography consists only of a couple obscure movies besides these two "gialli." This guy has a very unique vision. Knowing what works in a certain genre and who's who doesn't make him an off- ripping hack. The man has talent! B. Dobb knows his photography, editing, lighting, writing, mise-en-scene, his classic music and piano performers! The closest things in comparison are music videos, but this really is something else... and yes, all three touch upon the subject of Death!
All in all, a great release of a film worth rediscovering. Only "if" I got is that I was expecting it for Halloween and it didn't make it until the day after...

5.0 out of 5 stars Forse il più bel giallo anni 70 dopo Profondo Rosso
Per chi ama come me questo grande giallo di Bido dalle stupende musiche stile gobliniano, questa Synapse è la versione migliore da nuovo master 4K...blu ray con audio italiano e sottotitoli inglesi escludibili. Tanti extra (questi in inglese) e inclusi anche 3 cortometraggi molto interessanti del regista padovano.
ÍøÆغÚÁÏ ottima

5.0 out of 5 stars 70s Giallo at it's finest.
Awesome late 70s giallos flick. If you've seen The Bloodstained Shadow and liked it, you'll definitely dig this one too. Good storyline, some great kill scenes, and of course, a fantastic Prog Rock soundtrack.
