Death Walks on High Heels caters to fans of giallo pictures, offering all the essential elements
17 January 2024
I recently watched the Italian giallo 🇮🇹 Death Walks on High Heels (1971) on Tubi. The storyline centers around a French stripper whose jewelry-thief father was recently murdered, and his stolen jewels are now sought after by both law enforcement and a killer. The stripper, claiming ignorance, goes into hiding with her boyfriend, but the relentless killer is determined to track them down.

Directed by Luciano Ercoli (Death Walks at Midnight) and featuring Frank Wolff (Once Upon a Time in the West), Nieves Navarro (Death Walks at Midnight), Simón Andreu (Die Another Day), and Claudie Lange (Death Walks at Midnight).

This movie encompasses all the classic giallo elements. It includes a captivating opening striptease sequence, beautiful ladies, and expected nudity. The storyline features classic whodunit elements with multiple potential killers. The blood, resembling red paint, and the horror elements showcase typical giallo stalking scenes followed by well-executed stab sequences. A fun twist during the killer reveal and a showdown between the stripper and her stalker add to the film's appeal.

In conclusion, Death Walks on High Heels caters to fans of giallo pictures, offering all the essential elements. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it at least once.
