The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972). 1h 39m | PG

“This interesting Giallo boosts a typical but still thrilling plot and a really sadistic killer that obviously likes to hunt his victims down before murdering them in gory ways.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirected by Emilio P. Miraglia who, one year earlier, also made the very interesting u0026quot;La Notte che Evelyn Usci della Tombau0026quot; (see also my comment on that one), the film starts off a little slow, but all in all, no time is wasted with unnecessary sub plots or sequences.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is a German-Italian coproduction, but it was released in Germany on video only in a version trimmed by 15 minutes of plot under the stupid title u0026quot;Horror Houseu0026quot;. At least the murder scenes, which will satisfy every gorehound, are fully intact, and the viewer still gets the killeru0026#39;s motive at the end. But the Italian version containing all the footage is still the one to look for, of course.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA convincing Giallo with obligatory twists and red herrings, u0026quot;La Dama Rossa Uccide Sette Volteu0026quot; is highly recommended to Giallo fans and slightly superior to Miragliau0026#39;s above mentioned other thriller.”
