The promo has been out there for quite some time now but today we have the first official trailer for
Dario Argento‘s “
Giallo.” Argento, Italian filmmaker who specializes in horror/thriller films is best known for a classic cult horror film “
Susperia.”
“Giallo” is an English-language Italian serial killer thriller, with
Adrien Brody as police inspector Enzo Avolfi.
Emmanuelle Seigner (The Ninth Gate),
Byron Deidra and
Elsa Pataky also stars the movie.
In Italy, an American woman fears her sister may have been kidnapped. Inspector Enzo Avolfi fears it's worse. They team up to rescue her from a sadistic killer known only as Yellow.
YELLOW chooses his victims according to their beauty, because he is not beautiful. He was locked up as a child, and now shows pleasure in kidnapping beautiful women and torturing them. He submits them to unspeakable torture, leaving long agony, until he is completely satisfied. Then he brutally kills and discards their bodies.
YELLOW is a “death machine” of incredible efficiency; he always knows exactly when and how to hit, and knows, with precision, who will be his next victim. He's very shrewd and intelligent, identifying his prey especially among tourists. The last is an Asian student, who he has just kidnapped and holds prisoner in his sordid cache. But he has already identified the next: Celine (Elsa Pataky — Brody's real-life girlfriend).
Meanwhile, Linda (Seigner), her sister, has just arrived in Turin and is very concerned because Celine has not been heard from. She decides to contact the police who entrusts the case to Inspector Enzo Avolfi (Brody), a rather shrewd character that does not enjoy high esteem among his colleagues. Meanwhile the body of a young Asian student is found devoid of life. The Inspector Avolfi, who knows well the psychology of that serial-killer, is certain that if he fails to stop YELLOW, the next victim will be Celine.
