Seven Blood-Stained Orchids 2003 Horror Movie Review

People who have never seen this movie or many of umberto’s lenzi’s other movies from the seventies wouldn’t expect that he was capable of true greatness in the thriller/horror/giallo genre. But this is one of the best giallos ever made.  Lenzis last efforts were much weaker and after watching lets say ‘black demons” people might dismiss Lenzi as average director only. They would be wrong! This movie is among the best giallos ever made. It’s better than his really cool giallo ‘eyeball” from 1975 and that is a must watch for giallo fans.  This is the place where Lenzi was able to do everything right and this sits up at the top of the whole genre.  The other reviewers can give the grit on this movie and they did a great job of that.  So why throw in another review?  Just to say that this movie proves that Umberto Lenzi did have moments of brilliance and this movie is well worth owning even if you don’t collect lenzi movies.
