I can hear it now: "Go to Italy. It's a peaceful country, nothing much ever happens there."

One thing I adore in movies is when a prop or set piece is introduced and it's hilariously obvious that it's going to be used as a murder weapon at some point.

My favorite example of this is the fucking giant spiky wall sculpture in The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.

Hmmmm...what a strangely ominous addition to this scene. I wonder if anything will come of it?

An hour later:

OMG WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?

Dario Argento gives the people what they want. It's me. I'm "the people."

Giallo films are great, because they're like Italian slashers mixed with Scooby-Doo. You see the killer committing horrible murders on screen but you also follow someone trying to solve the mystery. They're horrific but also frequently wacky and funny, and usually have the greatest shots you've ever seen in your life. Just a wild, wild ride for every one.
