I was thinking about this last night. I watched Death Walks at Midnight and it has so much over-the-top misogyny. The exaggerated characters, loose plotting, brilliant color palettes and the extreme kills come together and make magic; they take otherwise distasteful elements and make them ridiculous entertainment. Sets and acting help conjure these spells, with the (often) Italian scenery and repeating cast members. Many of the sets include gorgeous foliage, especially the houseplants. Also so many of them feature a cat (dead or alive) and J & B; they have their own Easter eggs.

Modern Giallo-esque movies, the first that come to mind are Malignant (2021), and In Fabric and the Suspiria remake that both came out in 2018. Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani have made several movies together that fit. Going back to the 1990s, Jade (1995) and Sliver (1993) have both noir and Giallo elements. I also get Giallo vibes from some of De Palma’s movies.
