Monster Of Venice
One of the last horror films from Italy shot in black-and-white, Monster Of Venice (American title The Embalmer) reveals itself as both a commentary on and a participant in that country's genre cinema shift from Gothic horrors to giallo shockers. At issue was the struggle between decaying Gothicism and encroaching modernism, the latter represented by the jazz and rock music that filters down to the subterranean monastic world of the Embalmer. The film owes much of its inspiration to Germany's popular Edgar Wallace "krimi" films, which were in full swing by 1964, the year The Monster Of Venice was helmed. Not surprising that a similarly titled film made that year, The Monster Of London City, was a German krimi."
