1. ALMOST HUMAN
2. SEVEN BLOOD STAINED ORCHIDS
3. SPASMO
4. GATTI ROSSI IN UN LABIRINTO DI VETRO (EYEBALL)
5. PARANOIA

Surprise, surprise! 4 out of the 5 are gialli.

I have no idea why mmyers thinks SEVEN BLOOD STAINED ORCHIDS is sleazy...

As for the rest of them:

UN POSTO IDEALE PER UCCIDERE (OASIS OF FEAR)
SO SWEET... SO PERVERSE
THE KILLER RESERVED 9 SEATS

all get honorable mentions (all passable gialli but not great).

Everything else I've seen is terrible. That includes:

HITCHER IN THE DARK
CANNIBAL FEROX
NIGHTMARE CITY
EATEN ALIVE!
FROM HELL TO VICTORY
GATE OF HELL
NIGHTMARE BEACH
VIOLENT PROTECTION
BRUTAL JUSTICE
KNIFE OF ICE
THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER
IRON MASTER
