The Killer Reserved Nine Seats is a 1974 Italian horror mystery film directed by Giuseppe Bennati. The movie stars Rosanna Schiaffino, Chris Avram, and Eva Czemerys in the lead roles. The story revolves around a group of guests who have gathered at an old mansion to honor the filmmaker Andrea Valentino, who has recently passed away. Valentino’s brother, Mario (Chris Avram), organizes the event and has prepared a film tribute to his brother that the guests will watch.

However, things take a dark turn when the group realizes that there is a killer among them. The mansion has nine seats, which are reserved for the guests. One by one, the guests start disappearing, and the killer leaves a note on the respective seat after each murder.

As the night progresses, the guests become more and more paranoid as they desperately try to figure out who the killer is and what their motive might be. Each guest has their secrets and agenda, all of which come to the surface as the night unfolds.

Leading the investigation is Inspector Wald (Antonio De Teffé), who is not convinced that the killer is one of the guests. He suspects that the killer might be someone from the Valentino family, as they have a sordid history of violence and murder.

The atmosphere is tense and claustrophobic, as the guests are trapped inside the mansion with the killer. They must work together to unravel the mystery and uncover the identity of the murderer before it is too late.

The Killer Reserved Nine Seats is a classic giallo film, which means that it is characterized by its vivid colors, stylized violence, and psychological thrills. The movie is also notable for its excellent use of music and sound effects, which add to the tension and suspense.

Rosanna Schiaffino delivers a strong performance as Laura, one of the guests who is caught in the middle of the chaos. She is intelligent, resourceful, and determined, and she does not give up until she finds out the truth.

Chris Avram is equally impressive as Mario Valentino, the enigmatic brother of the deceased filmmaker. He is suspicious and secretive, and it is never quite clear what his role is in this whole affair.

Eva Czemerys plays the role of Joan, Mario's seductive partner, who seems to have a hidden agenda. Her character adds to the intrigue and mystery of the movie.

Overall, The Killer Reserved Nine Seats is a gripping and suspenseful whodunit that keeps the audience guessing until the very end. Its well-crafted story, strong performances, and stylish direction make it a must-see for fans of the giallo genre.
