Macchie Solari
Macchie solari (1975), or Sun Spots, is a
giallo that has been
variously called Autopsy, The Magician, Sun Spots, Tarot, Tension and The
Victim. The title this time around is Autopsy, which is a heinous bit of
exploitation which, when coupled with a specially edited trailer, would lead
you to believe this is a horror film having to do with re-animated corpses on
a killing spree. While the opening scene features an autopsy and several
suicides, the morgue and what goes on there are only tangential to the plot.
Mimsy Farmer plays an intern in forensic pathology. She's working on a
method to distinguish real suicides from murders made to look like suicides.
She has a busy night, due to a large number of suicides, which reporters try
to blame on increased sun spot activity, hence the original Italian title. She
begins to hallucinate that the corpses are coming back to life.
Definitely time to go home.
In her building she runs into her upstairs neighbor. Imagine her surprise
the next day when the woman turns up at the morgue. Not only that, but she
strongly suspects the neighbor's death to be a murder made to look like
suicide. Together with a flaky father, her father's ex girlfriend, a priest
and her own photographer boyfriend, she tries to unravel the mystery.
Like most gialli, the scriptwriters don't include enough real clues to
allow viewers to solve the mystery, but once the solution to the puzzle has
been revealed, all the pieces fit. The new region one release marks the first
time this film has been available uncut in North America, and there is a lot
of nudity to savor in a very nice transfer, backed by a musical score from the
omnipresent Ennio Morricone. You have a choice of Italian with English
subtitles or dubbed English,
This is a C. A solid giallo.
IMDb readers say 5.4.

Night Angel
Night Angel is about an evil demon woman, Lilith (Isa Jank), who has
been around since the beginning of time. After many millennia of ducking
the media, Lilith decides she wants to be on the cover of a fashion
magazine. You would think a dame like that would have higher goals than
a fifteen-year-old girl, but I guess it just goes to show that you can
never underestimate the vanity of women. Lilith is supposed to be the
most beutiful woman on earth, and while Isa Jank is not bad looking, her
co-star Debra Feuer, who plays the girlfriend of the good guy, is way
better looking than Isa, at least in my modest opinion.
So, unless you like latex monsters and funny-looking F/X, this movie
should be avoided at all costs.
At least it has some nudity:

Pat's comments in yellow...
In San Diego, California, attorney Theodore Pinnock, who has cerebral palsy, was
accused of making a living by lodging unsubstantiated allegations against
businesses for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing
handicapped access. He'd sent letters threatening lawsuits to over 100
businesses, including a convenience store that had been closed for over two
years. A federal judge ordered Pinnock to pay over $15,000 in fines and fees and
to take a four-hour course in ethics and personal responsibility for lawyers.
* Couldn't they cover that in about four minutes?
* Sentencing a lawyer to ethics class is cruel and unusual punishment! It's
like sentencing Dracula to four hours of sunbathing!
