I recently viewed Darkness Surrounds Roberta and would highly recommend it to anyone who are fans of the by gone era of classic giallos of the 60's and 70's. The film brings to mind great giallo's by Argento, Ercoli, Lenzi, Bava and Martino. These are films of a lost era and anyone who is a fan of them will appreciate this movie. It is a direct to DVD release and is certainly an independent movie. However, it was shot in Florence, Italy and has lots of violence, kinky sex, and strange events going on with a killer score. The women are smoking hot and although the script is far from perfect, the atmosphere that is created feels like the movie was released in the 70's in the classic era of giallos. It pays homage to the great giallos and does so much better then other recent releases, such as Bad Inclination, which was a major disappointment.
I would highly recommend this movie to fans of giallo who have realistic expectations of what to expect. If you are not a fan of such films, you probably will not like it, but for giallo fans, it is a welcome release in a area that is really hard to duplicate effectively. Giallos were far from perfect technical movies, but that was part of the fun. This movie is simply a surprising treat to the senses.
