Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key

Your Vice Is A Locked Room Us Dvd Edwige Fenech

The infamous team of director Sergio Martino and screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi join forces once again for this gore-infused psychological thriller, replete with all the sordid drama and bloody mayhem that characterized their previous efforts such as THE CASE OF THE SCORPION'S TALE, TORSO, THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS. WARDH, and ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK. Irina Rouvigny (Anita Strinberg) is the much-put-upon wife of an alcoholic, abusive novelist who delights in humiliating her. His wandering eyes and hands, however, become of secondary importance when young girls begin turning up murdered in and around the couple's luxurious chateau. Recalling Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat," the couple bury the evidence behind a brick wall in their cellar, while their pet looks on. Meanwhile, their comely niece Floriana (Edwidge Fenech, SECRETS OF A CALL GIRL) turns up to stay for a spell. The stylization of this classic giallo recalls Dario Argento's DEEP RED, and mixes all the elements of non-mainstream 1970s cinema--sex, i

Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key

Director Sergio Martino and screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi are at it again with YOUR VICE IS A CLOSED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY, a gore-soaked psycho-thriller in the severed vein of their classic gialli STRANGE VICE OF MRS. WARDH, THE CASE OF THE SCORIPION’S TALE, TORSO and ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK. Luigi Pistilli (THE GREAT SILENCE, BAY OF BLOOD) is a burned out novelist haunted by the memory of his dead mother and making life miserable for wife Anita Strindberg (THE CASE OF THE SCORPION’S TAIL, A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN). When the failed writer’s mistress is found slashed to death, the crime initiates a series of bloody slayings that drive the protagonists to the brink of insanity… and murder. Edwige Fenech (STRANGE VICE OF MRS. WARDH, SECRETS OF A CALL GIRL) and Ivan Rassimov (DEEP RIVER SAVAGES, EATEN ALIVE) co-star in this atypical country-set giallo, which owes more than a passing debt to Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Black Cat" and anticipates the hyper-stylized madness of Dario Argento’s PROFONDO ROSSO and Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING. Photographed in lush widescreen by Giancarlo Ferrando and blessed with a trippy score from Ennio Morricone conductor Bruno Nicolai, YOUR VICE IS A CLOSED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY is rife with essential 70s cinema elements: substance abuse, gratuitous sex, infidelity, incest, hippie love communes, dirtbike racing… and homicidal murder, Italian-style. Throw away those grainy, incomplete bootlegs and substandard import DVDs. NoShame Films presents YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED DOOR AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY uncut in a pristine, widescreen, 16x9 presentation re-mastered from the original negative for the first time in America.
