A cool 90's giallo

Look at what we have here folks, a very good entry in the giallo genre from the 1990's. The 1990's weren't exactly kind to the Italian Horror industry, but a few good films were still produced like this one. As in the case of most gialli "Body Puzzle" is pretty convoluted and confusing, but that is what makes the genre so much fun. This time around we have a murderer killing the recipients of his dead lover's organs in hopes of piecing him back together. Doesn't that sound like a totally tasteless and fun ride? During one scene he even kills a teacher in front of her classroom full of blind children, so of course they don't notice it.

Anyway, "Body Puzzle" is a good deal of fun. Lamberto Bava is pretty much hit or miss with me, but this one was a hit, he gives this film a good deal of energy and this is well shot. I also really enjoyed the score; I found it to be a creepy tune that added great things to the film as a whole. Most of all though, I just glad Bava was willing to make a totally cheesy and tasteless movie. Fans of the giallo genre should have fun with this. It could have had some nudity, but overall a solid film. Check it out.
