A TASTE FOR FEAR (DVD) bizarre futuristic erotic giallo thriller

This week we have a pretty weird one - a late Italian entry in the infamous giallo genre - but this one seems to takes place in a kind of alternate reality.  The filmmakers were going for the future I assume, but it ends up being like a weird bizarro version of the eighties where every one is a sleezebag.  This is the rare Japanese print that runs a couple minutes longer than the domestic release, but since it is from a Japanese source, below the waist nudity is censored..........





A TASTE FOR FEAR (1988)

     A female fashion photographer who specializes in trendy soft core imagery is introduced to a muscular girl model by her ex-boyfriend who makes bondage films.  She asks the bodybuilder to model in her next shoot after they have a lesbian encounter, but she soon turns up bound, gagged and dead after accepting a job at another shoot. 

     A tough cop focuses his suspicions on the photographer's old flame, the bondage film maker.  It isn't long before another model is murdered, but this time a video disks shows up depicting the crimes.  The cop thinks he now has the evidence to nab his suspect, except the killer in the video appears to be a red-headed woman.


     This truly bizarre erotic giallo thriller that takes place in an eighties version of the future where they drive slick electric cars and the cops use ray-guns.  Even with it's over-the-top eighties vibe, director Piccio Raffanini does succeed in pulling off some very slick and stylish photography creating a surreal world that is undeniably interesting. Stars Virginia Hey (The Road Warrior) as the photographer and includes a cameo role from Kid Creole.
