Luciano Ercoli’s career as a film director came to fruition right at the height of the giallo boom. Having already released one thriller, Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, Ercoli hit his stride with the release of Death Walks in High Heels in 1971 and its sister film Death Walks at Midnight in 1972. Both films, although known in the giallo circuit, have remained relatively obscure due to the focus being shed on the likes of Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Sergio Martino, Umberto Lenzi and many more. In Death Walks Twice: Two Films by Luciano Ercoli, Arrow Video has compiled the two masterworks in a stunning 2K presentation, delivering them from the realm of obscurity for all giallo and horror fans to enjoy.
Death Walks on High Heels and Death Walks at Midnight have a great deal in common, and as such it is only right that the two are released as a single package. In addition to both films featuring largely the same cast in similar roles, they share a kitschy, laidback atmosphere which gives them a highly adventurous and almost farcical tone which contrasts sharply with the brutality taking place both on- and off-screen. As it happens, they are both also quite densely plotted, taking their cues not only from the giallo genre but also from soft-core erotica, madcap comedies and Spaghetti Westerns.
