Giallo Inspired Film, AMER, Heading to BluRay in UK
Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet have made a beautiful and striking tribute to the Italian “Giallo” genre with Amer. Although the murder mystery that follows a girl through three different times in her life has not received a proper U.S. release (it did show at a few festivals including SXSW), our friends across the pond won’t have to wait long to get their hands on it. Twitch Film is reporting that Anchor Bay UK is releasing Ameron BluRay on January 7th. Hopefully a stateside BluRay will follow. For those unfamiliar with this film that has received much praise this year for its gorgeous use of cinematography and music, I have posted the poster and trailer beyond the break. Check it out!
“Giallo” is a term that means yellow in Italian. In Italy, many novels that were released through Mondadori Publishing were designed using their trademark yellow background on the covers. A few staples of these popular stories include sex, crime, a masked killer, plot twists, and grisly murders. . . the good stuff of horror. Below, you can find the proposed cover-art for the DVD, the theatrical poster, and a trailer that uses the amazing music of Stelvio Cipriani.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
