Kinky giallo.

Tina Cansino plays Arabella,an extremely sexy and devoted wife by day and a horny prostitute by night!Turns out that she's doing her nightly activities for her invalid husband in order to get realistic details for his upcoming bestseller novel.Unfortunately the black gloved scissor-wielding killer is butchering and castrating anyone that can link Arabella to her decadent behaviour.Lesbian inspector Valentina Visconti tries to stop the series of slayings...Pure sleaze Italian style!"Arabella,the Black Angel" is a crazy and misogynistic giallo with silly twists and turns.There's a lot of graphic sex,copious frontal nudity,rape and gore.The plot is ludicrous and is mainly an excuse to show tons of naked female flesh.A must-see for fans of Italian exploitation-it's a crying shame that fully uncut version is so tough to find.

Pure sleaze

Also known as Angel: Black Angel, this is one of the sleaziest giallo that I've come across. Seeing as how I've watched Play Motel, Strip Nude for Your Killer, Giallo In Venice and own multiple copies of The New York Ripper, that's saying something.

Director Stelvio Massi was the cinematographer or director of photography for plenty of great movies like The Case of the Bloody Iris, Sartana's Here...Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin and Giovannona Long-Thigh. He knows how to make things look gorgeous, particularly in the way he shoots women, which comes in more than handy here.

Arabella is a woman obsessed with the carnal act. Sadly, her husband has been rendered impotent and confined to a wheelchair ever since he wrecked his car while she was dirty facetiming him (he was driving, because the opposite is impossible) won their wedding day. She's filled his role with trips to brothels, including one that gets raided while she's assaulted by a cop. She gets back at him by inviting him back to her place and while he's yodeling in the valley, she bops him upset the head with a hammer. Her cucked husband is watching and finally feels the blood flow down below, which means that he has to keep setting up his wife to kill off more and more people. He also finally gets back the urge to write and they start to fall in love again, but of course, he has to keep watching her make love to other people.

Also: lots of genital mutilation.

Ida Galli plays the mother-in-law. You'll remember her from The Sweet Body of Deborah and Fulci's The Psychic. Rena Niehaus, who is in the absolutely baffling strange film Damned In Venice, is also on hand.

The problem for our heroine is that everyone she makes loves to dies, including a cowboy who gets his member sliced clean off. The next day, as the cops are gathering evidence, one of them is so upset that he can't stop eating his sandwich. The world of this movie is insane, because there's a photo of the mutilation on the cover of the newspaper.

There's also a scene in the Freak Boy Zone, as Arabelle cruises all the gay men and picks one to take home. This entire scene is absolutely insane, as the homosexual side of town feels like it came out of an Enzo G. Castellari movie.

This movie looks grubby, makes little to no sense and will offend pretty much everyone that watches it. That means that you're definitely going to want to watch it.

Superb sleazy Giallo

After being caught at a whorehouse, a woman finds her hidden nymphomaniac desires brought to the surface which not only has the benefit of helping her husband write a new book but causes a vicious killer to target her victims putting them in danger of being next on the list.

This is one of the more engaging and fun trashy gialli. What really gives this one a large part of the fun here is the fact that there's such a sleazy and trashy feel to this one which really helps to make it more enjoyable. In dealing with her nymphomaniac manner, it includes not only the dealings with the continuous sex scenes and her sleeping around with everyone but also the opening shots at the whorehouse which manage to include all manner of kinky sexual thrills being enacted upon which really sets this off on a rather nice note which is always nicely realized and incredibly welcome considering the quality provided. By remaining an integral part of the film as a whole and staying quite relevant due to the various kinky sex she engages in for the sake of getting the novel written, there's a copious amount of nudity that she provides here with the lengthy sequences giving plenty of opportunities for that particular brand of sexual thrill which is nicely enhanced by the severity of these scenes. Once the storyline moves into more rational giallo tropes with the victims being killed off in exceptionally grisly methods, things pick up and it begins getting even better with the film allowing for all manner of fun to be had with the ability to switch from the stalking scenes showing the traditional black-gloved killer prowling the area with weapon in hand and dishing out the brutal kills such that the initial death with the blackmailing police inspector which launches everything into motion causes some great stalking scenes to occur here with the motel ambush on the first victim or the later scene involving the killer striking the woman down rather than the usual male victims targeted before. Likewise, the finale out in the woods after she manages to pick up her last john and features not only the big revelation about his secret life but also the nice twist involving the killer's identity which is rather shocking and nicely handled. As well, the way in which these are intercut alongside the concurrent police investigations managed with the crazed lesbian inspector trying to fit everything together only to have her own troubled past ending up causing the investigation to stumble slightly, it maintains a highly engaging mixture of sleazy thrills alongside the strong familiar giallo tropes present which manage to fully embrace the elements quite comfortably and easily which all makes for a great time here. There is a minor issue to be had here, which does manage to hold it down slightly in that the film really doesn't seem to offer up much in terms of coherence or logical plot-devices which concerns the relationship between everyone which is so twisted and confusing it really makes no sense. As a couple, they make no sense and the motives for why they agree to undergo the whole affair is a strange one which goes hand-in-hand with the killer's motive as well since that makes no sense either. Still, the troubled logic is all that really holds it down.

Rated Unrated/NC-17: Male and Continuous Full Female Nudity, Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and strong sex scenes.
