In the Folds of the Flesh (1970, Italian-Spanish,
Sergio Bergonzelli) is one of the weirder entries
into the giallo genre, which, if you are a fan of
this Eurocult genre par excellence, you know is
saying a lot! In most respects it deviates from
standard “who did it” giallo plot because the
mystery is not so much who is the killer
(although that is in question), but who is the
victim, and why. Where it fits in with giallo
decorum, along with its easy on the eyes pop art
design and color scheme, is the way the back-story
continually thickens with a carousel of revolving
(and evolving) characters, plot twists, and
subjective flashbacks of the same primal murder
scene. Visual (and aural) style is always at a
premium in the giallo and In the Folds of the Flesh,
though not in the league of a Bava, Freda or Argento,
has an arresting visual style marked by stylistic
shifts. For example, the flashbacks to the primal
scene stand out with a psychedelic styled prism-like
splitting of the image in two or three, while other
exposition flashbacks are handled in a montage of
photographic freeze frames

STORY:

A fleeing felon believes he sees a body being
buried in the garden of a Swiss villa one night
just before his arrest. Thirteen years later,
he's released from prison and comes back,
thinking he can blackmail the three people
there: a governess and her son, and the
daughter of the missing (and presumed dead)
owner of the estate. The daughter rules the
roost. She may also be unhinged, going into
murderous trances when men take her in their
arms. Men menace women; sexual assaults are
close at hand. Everyone seems to have their own
horrifying memories. Is there a mystery to
unravel? Will the dying end?
