novel by Edgar Wallace
(King Kong)
and starring Uschi Glas
(College Girl Murders),
Antonio Sabato

My oppinion:
"Seven Blood Stained Orchids"
is a classic and very enjoyable giallo thriller, and what
a nice title! It delivers when it comes to atmosphere and
suspenseful moments. Actually, the plot is rather interesting
and possible to follow too, and it managed to keep me interested
all the way. Though well made, it isn't quite as good as Argento's
best giallo's, but nobody can beat the maestro! You also get
a nice amount of female nudity, which is always welcome. What
disappointed me a little bit about it, was most of the murders,
as he held back on the gore with one exception: the drill
scene, which was nice. Also worth mentioning is the lead actress,
which was really nice to look at.
Highly recommended for giallo and horror fans!
