Femmine insaziabili (The Insatiables)

This is one of the two poster available for Alberto De Martino's Femmine insaziabili. The one I've managed to find so far has the Gli insaziabili title (which imdb lists as a working title), but there's a Femmine Insaziabili one around as well.

The film itself is a quite decent thriller set i LA where Italian journalist Paolo Sartori (Robert Hoffman) tries to find his friend Giulio's murderer. I think I've expressed my dislike for Hoffman in earlier posts here, but he's actually ok in this. Joining him in the cast are Frank Wolff, Luciana Paluzzi and Romina Power and the film also features a fantastic swinging score by Bruno Nicolai.

7, Hyden Park: la casa maledetta (Formula for a Murder)

To me, Alberto De Martino 80's gialli (this and Blood Link) are far better than the ones he directed in the 70's (The Man with Icy Eyes & The Killer Is on the Phone). 7, Hyden Park: la casa maledetta suffers a bit from the very 80's look and one of the worst synth scores ever (composed by the normally reliable Francesco De Masi), but apart from that it's a decent thriller with some interesting plot twists. The airbrushed artwork by Symeoni is a dead give-away to its 80's origins.

Extrasensorial (Blood Link)

I love Symeoni's beautiful artwork for Alberto De Martino's Extrasensorial. It will no doubt be be very familiar to the owners of Adrian Luther Smith's Blood & Black Lace (and I reckon that'll be quite a few of this blogs readers). While one doesn't necessarily expect too much from 1982 genre entry from Alberto De Martino, Blood Link is actually a very good film with an excellent performance by Michael Moriarty as the psychically linked twins Keith and Craig.

L'Assassino...è al telefono (The Killer is on the Phone)

De Martino was never one of the more exciting Italian directors and L'Assassino...è al telefono is another rather poor and lacklustre effort by him. The premise of the film isn’t fantastic, but might have worked in the hands of a better director. Anne Haywood is no Edwige Fenech and makes for a rather uninteresting damsel in distress. Savalas walks through all of his scenes and none of the menace that he managed to convey in Lisa & the Devil is present here.

L'Uomo dagli occhi di ghiaccio (The Man with Icy Eyes)

Jonny from lovelockandload calls Alberto De Martino's L'Uomo dagli occhi di ghiaccio an "utter snoozer" and I can't say I disagree. Quite like the poster though. I'm not a 100% sure, but I'd say the poster below is from a late 70's re-release since feels like it aims for the poliziesco crowd rather than going for the traditional giallo estehetic.
