Meet your Nemisis!

Advantages: action packed.
Disadvantages: slightly wooly plot

...to conquer the movie world. Resident evil made a slowish start. The first film was watchable, and for a fan of the games like myself, it was entertaining. It seems, that the series is getting stronger, though, as apocalypse turns out to be a rip-roaring success. Highly enjoyable, and memorable for more than just Milla Jovavic (or, Milla yoyo-a-bit.). Yes she is a fox, but she could also kick your ass! The perfect woman! We left the last film with ...
...escape is thwarted by umbrella, the evil corporation behind the t-virus. Her friend Matt, who was the only other survivor of the hive, was also taken by umbrella, but he was taken to be in the nemesis project. Umbrella release the t-virus upon Racoon city. The city was chosen as it could be locked down, to contain the spread of the virus if need be. Then, into the zombie covered streets, the company unleashes its two champions. Good versus evil, ...

Fang-Tastic

Advantages: Two Great Films in One!
Disadvantages: Blade Trinity is not part of the Set!

...their card covers, and this Blade double boxset is no different. *****Overview of the Films***** Blade Blade (number 1) is described as a blood-chilling action packed thriller, and it is absolutely right!

By the way, I have written a review on "Suspiria", so please feel free to take a look. You may be wondering what exactly is Giallo. ...
...everyone else this is the explanation......... Giallo refers to the Italian translation meaning yellow. This colour was originally used for the covers of murder mystery and thriller novels. They became very popular in Italy in the 1930's and also 40's. These novels were really Italian translations from authors such as Agatha Christie.
