How it feels

A film editor becomes the prime suspect in a series of murders at a film studio. This is a parody of Italian giallo horror movies that has blood and jokes.

What happens

The Editor is a 2014 Canadian giallo-horror film by Astron-6 and starring Paz de la Huerta, Adam Brooks, Laurence R. Harvey, and Udo Kier. The film is an homage to and parody of giallo, a cinematic and literary subgenre originating in Italy and popularized through films like The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Torso, Deep Red, and A Lizard in a Woman's Skin. The film was shot on-location in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Kenora, Ontario, and premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. It was released on home video and VOD platforms on September 8, 2015, and received mixed-to-positive reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
