Death Laid an Egg
La morte ha fatto l'uovo
A love triangle develops between three people who run a high tech chicken farm. It involves Anna (who owns the farm), her husband Marco (who kills prostitutes in his spare time) and Gabriella (the very beautiful secretary). Marco continues to kill as jealousy becomes more prevalent on the farm.
Why it matters
A surreal giallo hybrid that fuses industrial paranoia with psychosexual dread in a uniquely unsettling setting.
- Lucio Fulci’s direction veers from sleek modernism to grotesque violence, blending thriller and weird body horror elements.
- The high-tech chicken farm setting amplifies alienation and claustrophobia, a rare industrial backdrop for 60s Italian horror.
- Barbara Bouchet’s cool, detached presence contrasts with the simmering jealousy and madness at the story’s core.
- Perfect for fans of giallo’s stylish brutality who want something off the beaten path — this is not your typical blood-spattered mansion.
