All those who miss the gory days of the Italian giallo films from the 1970s are in for a treat this Friday, October 29 when Olive Films begins its theatrical release of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s new thriller AMER, opening at New York City’s Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place) and West Hollywood’s Laemmle’s Sunset 5 (8000 Sunset Boulevard). AMER has won raves at festivals all over the world, from Spain (Sitges) to New York (Lincoln Center). In the final part (below the jump; see parts one and two) of our exclusive interviews, the young filmmakers sit down with Fango’s Tony Timpone to discuss the co-directing process and division of work; their future plans in horror; whether the success of AMER will lead to a giallo revival and much more.

The story of AMER follows a woman named Ana across three tumultuous periods of her life, culminating in a series of gruesome murders by a black-gloved killer. For more, you can visit the official AMER site, read an early review here and see the AMER article in FANGORIA #298, now on sale.
