Movie Reviews of Luciano Ercoli's The Death Box Set (Death Walks on High Heels/ Death Walks at Midnight)

Movie Review: Death Walks All Over Susan Scott As If She Is A Floor Mat
Summary: 5 Stars

No Shame has issued a great double feature of Luciano Ercoli's Italian gialli entitled "The Luciano Ercoli Death Box Set." In both films, the beautiful blonde Susan Scott is victimized by a serial killer; unfortunately no one believes her.

In "Death Walks at Midnight," Scott is Valentina, a model who is tricked into taking an experimental hallucinogenic drug. While under the drug's influence, she witnesses a murder in the building opposite her own. Naturally, no one believes her, except for the killer. Soon it is learned that a girl was murdered in the other building, but the murder took place six months ago. What murder did Valentina witness? This is a very enjoyable giallo with gruesome murders involving a Medieval spiked glove, several plot twists, and a great surprise ending that threw me for a loop.

"Death Walks on High Heels" is the best of the two gialli in this collection. It is a classic Italian giallo. It is loaded with numerous twists and turns and red herrings. Everyone is suspected of being the killer. The ending wasn't quite as shocking as in "Death Walks at Midnight," however, it was a better thrill ride. It definitely kept me guessing. Scott plays Nicole, a stripper, whose jewel thief father is murdered. When the diamonds he was suppose to have been carrying aren't found, the killer threatens and attacks Nicole. Again, no one believes her. She leaves the county in the arms of a playboy doctor and travels to a secluded island, but the killer manages to find her.

Great 70's pop music and beautiful scenery accentuate both movies, which are prime examples of the Italian giallo. Susan Scott (Sergio Martino's "All the Colors of the Dark") is perfect as the heroine who is walked all over by death. Simon Andreu ("The Blood Splattered Bride") is good as the leading man in both features. My only problem is that so many of the same actors appeared in both movies that I thought the second feature was a continuation of the first. Nevertheless, "The Luciano Ercoli Death Box Set" is a great buy and a must have for all fans of Italian gialli!!!

Summary of Luciano Ercoli's The Death Box Set (Death Walks on High Heels/ Death Walks at Midnight)

Get primed for two wild, stylish giallo shockers of the 1970s from director Luciano Ercoli (FORBIDDEN PHOTOS OF A LADY ABOVE SUSPICION), starring Susan Scott (DEATH CARRIES A CANE), Simon Andreu (THE BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE) and Frank Wolff (GOD FORGIVES.I DON'T).

In DEATH WALKS ON HIGH HEELS, Parisian nightclub singer, Nicole Rochard (Susan Scott) is stalked by a demented masked man who may be the killer of her diamond thief father. With the help of a friend, Dr. Robert Matthews (Frank Wolff) she hopes to elude her pursuer by traveling to the English countryside. But Nicole's merciless pursuer does not give up so easily, and soon more murders occur.

Susan Scott returns in DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT as Valentina, a hot-tempered fashion model. When she's duped into trying an experimental psychedelic by her fast-talking boyfriend (Simon Andreu) during a photo-shoot, she inadvertently witnesses a gory murder by a man with a spiked glove in the empty, next door building. It won't be the last!

Hallucinogenic drugs, smart-aleck heroines, jewel thieves, macho tabloid reporters, strippers, intrepid police inspectors, plus crazy chases, brutal fist fights, spiked-metal gloves and myriad use of the zoom lens - not to mention delirious nightclub scenes, escalating body counts and countless red herrings! -NoShame is proud to present for the first time on DVD uncut two deranged examples of the sexy, Italian thriller genre - the giallo.
