SATURDAY, MAY 27 – ALL DAY
Full day passes are on sale now! Tickets to the individual screenings will only be available at the door.
The Giallo genre derived its name from the Italian pulp mystery novels ‘Il Giallo Mondadori’ and their recognisable yellow covers (the Italian word for yellow is giallo). The books were so popular that Giallo became synonymous with Italian mystery thrillers. By the 1960s, the genre made its way onto celluloid: hundreds of Giallo movies were produced in Italy between 1963 and 1978. Often featuring a violent murder-mystery plot, a heart-pounding soundtrack and eye-popping colours, Gialli are as stylish as they are mind-boggling.
Join us at Spectacle on Saturday, May 27th for seven back-to-back mystery Gialli films that range from deep cuts to classics. Grab a glass of J&B, sit back and enjoy. But beware, the killer might be sitting somewhere in the audience…
