"The Italian giallo film genre was based on British and American fiction of the 30s and 40s, adapted to the filmmaking of 1970s and 1980s Europe. This book analyzes sex and violence of giallo films, finding in them beauty and tracing their literary antecedents to elements of the fairy tale as described by Russian folklorist Propp. "--
