The Embalmer (1965)

A very good giallo film that leans heavily into the elements that would later come to define the slasher subgenre. A story about a killer who stalks women by scuba diving through the Venice canals and then brings them back to his lair so he can preserve their bodies. It's also one of those movies that may have been unintentionally brilliant. Focusing on the stalking and snatching of the victims, then skipping to them being embalmed and displayed, without showing most of the actual deaths. And the film analysis explanation for that is that the killer was only interested in collecting and preserving the women, with their deaths just being incidental to that process, and as such the film treats their deaths as insignificantly as the killer. Of course, the more likely explanation is that it was just too costly and difficult to film several underwater death scenes that wouldn't even add that much to the film, and that absence just happened to lend itself to the themes.

7/10

The final day of @windbrook's Slashed CAS Challenge, The Killer aka Lucian Wargrave/ The Shadow, and the 6th and final death in the story. (Twisted to meat paste by Sayoko's power and Mal's knife)

Lucian Wargrave was your normal teenager in the sleepy little town of Craven Falls until he joined his classmates Penny and Ellis to set up the annual Halloween prank by summoning a visitor from the other side with a strange green liquid they used replacing the absinthe that broke and spilled… well they did summon something

"It has been 18 years since I had a suitable vessel, now it is the time for terror will rise"

Lucian's hidden dark feelings like resentment and anger toward others along with the envy that Mal won Sayoko's heart first, make him acceptable to the dark power that the Shadow offers and the merged entry started its killing.... until there were none left.

A Bay of Blood (1971)

A giallo film so stylistically influential on the slasher subgenre that you can almost forget that it's from 1971. It's got all the stalking scenes through dynamically lit locations, gruesome gore, and of course, skinny dipping that you would expect to see a decade later, all in top form. The story though is still one that sticks to more traditional crime tropes, people dropping dead with a valuable inheritance on the line. If you're a fan of slashers or—gory—crime dramas, this is definitely one worth checking out.

7/10
