If anyone has a short Giallo screenplay and would like to see it made pm me
I'll give you writers credit and a DVD
 
From the giallo I've seen It seems more focused on presenting a concept, rather than a story. Maybe I've watched the wrong stuff, but I've just not seen a solid story in Giallo as much as a weird concept, atmosphere, that creates a dark fantasy setting
 
I dig the giallo genre. I can't say I've seen a lot of really good ones, but there are definitely some classics. I really liked Lucio Fulci's "Don't Torture a Duckling."

I think Dario Argento is wonderfully stylized in his direction. But, IMHO, usually the scripts he writes are not very good. I prefer to see him direct others' writings.

That being said, there is a Lebanese film maker, Antoine Waked, you should check out. I saw his short film, "Giallo," and thought it was pretty good! Try to contact the guy and see what he's up to. I contacted him a few years ago and we had a nice conversation.
 
They're sort of sexy violent pulp fiction horror movies, Italian, derived from a literary genre by the same name.

just without that annoying story element and character arc. Good example of what I'm taking about is cemetery man. Good visuals mixed in a story that isnt there.

Thus my detestment of Giallo, visuals are usually pretty damn good, but they never have a real ****ing story. being someone who loves a good story and character development, it is not my sub genre.

"Giallo" is an Italian word meaning "yellow." They're more like violent and sexy mystery movies. Pulpy, sexy. Very visual. There can be a horror element, I guess. It stems originally from yellow paperbacks.

While many giallos are not very good, they are defintiely some VERY good stories that have been told via giallo.
