"To Preserve One’s Virtue One Needs a Constant Line of Defense" - The Police Are Blundering in the Dark (1975)

 

We have not discussed any giallo films on Senseless Cinema since The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972), so we shall rectify that oversight now, because, as everyone knows, there is always room for giallo.

Some of your universe's critics are unfair to The Police Are Bludering in the Dark. For example, reviewer Andreas_W333 calls the film "a cheap and poorly executed province giallo." Reviewer horrorlover1026 writes, "It's better to skip this one, because the only suspense is when it will fade to black." And reviewer dopefishie writes, "Some Gialli are forgotten for a reason. In this film's case, it was forgotten because of it's [sic] poor qualities."

Of all the classic Frankenstein films that have captivated cinemagoers from the time of Edison to the time of del Toro, one of the most underrated films of the genre is 1965's Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster, a film so bold it features not only James Karen but also an actual spacemonster.

Some of the most esteemed critics in your universe, unfortunately, are unkind to this science fiction classic. For example, reviewer rdad writes, "This was a complete mess." Reviewer bkoganbing writes, "Frankenstein Meets The Spacemonster is to be seen if only to see just how bad science fiction can be at times." And reviewer moviemeister1 writes, "There is very little in this film that is even the least bit entertaining."
