Short Night of Glass Dolls 1971

A wholly enticing and wonderfully thrilling giallo and in my opinion one of the best gialli. This one's pretty different from the usual stuff I've seen so far. It's more of a slow burn paranoia mystery than the standard fare, definitely not the bloody type, but it features some of the most enticing, well-written mystery I’ve ever seen in this genre. It plays heavily on psychology to generate the thrills and chills while also retaining the core sub-genre tropes and stylization. The unique structure this film has gives it a sense of unease that just feels different compared to other gialli. The suspense gradually builds throughout leading to a terrifying finale that will stick with you for some time afterwards.
