This wonderfully atmospheric, teasingly twisted psychodrama from talented director, Sauro Scavolini is a brooding, elegiac tale of emotional violence, starring two of the most luminescent Euro-starlets, that deliciously intoxicating redhead, Erika Blanc, and the voluptuous, Orchidea 'Devil in The Brain' De Santis! Masterfully exotic cinema that reminded me of the equally skewed neo-Gothic piece 'Anima Persa', whereby an octogenarian professor hires an ostensibly deserted, dilapidated mansion to further his study of rare bird call, and soon discovers, in true-blue, kooky Gialli-style, a stone-cold, hyper-sexualized, obsidian dark tale of incest, infidelity and escalating madness! There is a decidedly decadent whiff of Hitchcockian diabolism about this deadly tale of twisted desire and dreadful deceit; and it is rendered with considerably more moral restraint than cinematic rabble-rouser Umberto Lenzi! I happily discovered that maestro, Suaro Scavolini also wrote 'The Case of The Scorpions Tale', 'Your vice is a locked room, and only I have the key' and 'All the colours of the Dark' - so his pristine Giallo genius credentials are somewhat unimpeachable! The darkly fascinating Giallo, 'Love & Death in The Garden of the Gods' is most certainly worthy of rediscovery, especially in its handsomely restored Blu-ray edition.
