Hardened giallo fans have been screaming out for a British release of 1974's macabre masterpiece "The Perfume of the Lady in Black". Long considered one of the genres greatest achievements, this surreal and spooky exploration of a beautiful Hitchcockian blonde and her breakdown into oddball visions of childhood and violence, not to mention a bloody body count that seems concurrent with her mysterious and malevolent mindscapes, is a truly unique spin on the long-running Italian terror-trend.
