DVD Reviews of Scorpion with Two Tails
DVD Review: fair giallo/horror film
Summary: 3 Stars
Sergio Martino made some of the best giallos (crime mystery movies) from the genres golden age 1965-1977. (some say 1970-77) although straight horror was replacing the genre as Italys most popular type of film by 1977. This movie which was made for tv and then re-edited for a release as feature film is a not a straight giallo. It is a hybrid of supernatural elements concerning the ancient etruscans and reincarnation among other elements. Mixed into the stew are drugs and the hunt for treasure. So this is not anywhere near the quality of the giallos from the earlier days. It does have good acting though from the excellent John Saxon and the late Van Johnson who was a major hollywood leading man back in the 1940's-50's. This isn't filled with nudity or extreme violence like many giallos are and if you know that you can apprieciate this flick for it's own merit as a tamer giallo/horror movie. After all many giallos are not that bloody , they just have lots of murders. This one has a killer who twists the heads of his victims or hangs them. And the twisting of heads would still keep this off non-cable American television channels even though this was made in 1982. The horror elements are strong in this flick making it similiar to films like 1972's Hammer Horror film "Blood from the Mummys Tomb". As the reincarnated lead character calls on the Etruscan gods to smite the defilers of the crypt. I must admit I was hoping for a spooky giallo like the great 'The Etruscan Kills Again" that movie cries out for a proper region one release and maybe mya will grab it as it's been remastered on the Bryan Edgar Wallace box set 3 from Germany. (it has no english subtitles though); but instead the horror elements and drug smuggling overwash the whole production. The lead actress is not a terrible one either because I have seen her in other films and she does a good enough job here. Mya which has taken over from the great late No Shame films should be thanked for releasing these rare titles on dvd. I hope they go for more classic giallos in the future though. And this ones print could have used some cleaning. but it was not too bad at all really. MYA doesn't have a website so we can't suggest films like 'the killer reserved nine seats" , "the etruscan kills again" 'giallo de venezia", 'death laid an egg", 'the killer wore black gloves" and the many other unreleased giallos out there. As for this one it came in the Italian horror craze of 1979-89 or so and that's why it's a mixture movie.
