Death Walks at Midnight

1h 41m
Directed by Luciano Ercoli • 1972 • Italy
Starring Nieves Navarro, Peter Martell, Claudie Lange
Luciano Ercoli’s DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT is arguably the director’s masterpiece—thanks in no small part to the screenwriting talents of giallo master Ernesto Gastaldi (TORSO). Nieves Navarro stars as Valentina, a model who, in the midst of a drug-fueled photoshoot, witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers. But when the authorities refuse to believe that a crime has been committed, Valentina is forced to assume the role of amateur sleuth in order to unravel the mystery. Although Ercoli only made a small number of giallo films during his time as director, DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT—with its ultrastylized set pieces and grisly murder sequences—would serve to forever cement his reputation within the genre.
