List of giallo films

This is a list of giallo films, a genre of Italian-produced murder mystery film blending the atmosphere and suspense of the thriller genre with elements of horror (such as slasher violence) and eroticism.

Anita Strindberg in The Case of the Scorpion's Tail (1971), showing some trademarks of the giallo genre: a black-gloved killer's POV, vivid colour and a vulnerable young woman

Gialli often feature a number of distinctive plot elements, such as a mysterious killer (often dressed in a disguise and wearing black gloves) whose identity is revealed in the climax.

The genre developed in the mid-to-late 1960s, peaked in popularity during the 1970s, and subsequently declined in commercial mainstream filmmaking over the next few decades, though examples continue to be produced. It was a predecessor to, and had significant influence on, the later slasher film genre.
