A delirious love letter to the lurid Italian giallo thrillers of the 1970s and ’80s, The Editor is as stylish as it is absurdly funny. From the twisted minds of the Astron-6 collective, this horror-comedy follows Rey Ciso, once the greatest film editor in the business—until a tragic accident left him with a wooden hand and a career in decline. Now reduced to cutting low-budget schlock, Rey finds himself at the center of a real-life giallo nightmare when cast members from his latest project begin turning up murdered in spectacularly gruesome ways.
As the bodies pile up, suspicion falls squarely on Rey, forcing him into a surreal, blood-drenched spiral of paranoia, psychedelic visuals, and razor-sharp satire. Every frame of The Editor is packed with knowing winks to genre fans—outrageous dubbing, eye-popping lighting, pulsing synths, and over-the-top performances that rival the best (and worst) of the Italian classics.
Both a parody and a loving tribute, The Editor skewers the clichés of Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, and their contemporaries while celebrating everything that made giallo so intoxicating: murder, madness, and style over sense. With its gleefully excessive violence, pitch-black humor, and meticulous attention to retro detail, the film is an unforgettable ride for cult cinema diehards and newcomers alike.
Prepare for a night of sleaze, satire, and splattered celluloid—The Editor is a giallo fever dream you won’t want to miss.
