The Killer Reserved Nine Seats
Veteran
Italian filmmaker Giuseppe Bennati tried
his hand at the early-'70s glut of giallo
thrillers with this bloody and erotic
variation on The Ten Little Indians
plot line. Considered by many to be one
of the best examples of the Italian Giallo
film, this movie mixes amazingly creepy
suspense and overtly sexual moments with
the kind of gut wrenching gore we've all
come to expect from those wacky Italians.
The plot is about 9 people, who are all
connected in one way or another (i.e.
by blood, intrigue or rivalry) who are
all invited to an abandoned theatre. Once
there they find themselves trapped and
learn that an entire family was slaughtered
in the theatre years ago. Eventually one
by one they are systematically killed
in various horrific ways by a mysterious
assassin who hides in the shadows and
may or may not be of supernatural origin.
Filled with disturbing and spooky imagery
and moments, it's a great introduction
to the Giallo genre.
