A Strange and obscure trio of films indeed. One a Ghost Story Giallo that I liked a lot, another
some sort of a weird art thriller, maybe, and the third a Satanist thriller or horror.

Disc 1: Death Falls Lightly (La morte scende leggera)
Direction and co-script Leopoldo Savona 1972

I found it to be a great Ghost Story Giallo and with fine acting from people I have never even
heard of. A bit surprising as the actors were dissed as strictly B, or worse, in the commentary.
I liked it though, this giallo about a couple stranded in The Hotel of Ectoplasm.

Giorgio Darica (Stelio Candelli) returns to his Rome apartment and finds his wife murdered.
He's the main suspect and doesn't have an alibi. Or, he does have an alibi, a business trip to
Milano, but he can't use it as he's business is with gangsters and he can't name them.
Darica is unlikeable and probably a gangster himself, and all his friends too. He runs drugs
for highly connected people in the elite, politicians, judges and so on.

He desperately needs a hiding place and through shady connections, his lawyer, he moves
in into a deserted hotel with his lover, Liz (Patrizia Viotti). 80 rooms and Empty.
But are they really alone there ? People are walking around in the corridors and Liz is scared
out of her mind by these apparitions. Darica is pissed and wants to know what is going on.

of drifters, a prostitute (Dominique Boschero), a drunk (Lucio Dalla) and two hippies, Max

eat and drink as much as they want. But something is wrong ...

The Handyman and gardener Giovanni (great spanish actor Victor Israel) looks
weird and another man lies dead in one of the rooms.
There's an american anthropologist, Peter (Lou Castel) in the village but the
