Many American movies have been influenced by gialli. These include ''Film/BasicInstinct'', ''Film/KillBill, Vol. 2'' (when it isn't being a SpaghettiWestern), the ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' movies, and pretty much anything by Creator/BrianDePalma. {{Slasher Movie}}s from ''Film/FridayThe13th1980'' onward have appropriated bits and pieces of the giallo sensibility, as well. All quite appropriate, considering the ''considerable'' stylistic influence the genre draws from Creator/AlfredHitchcock--to the point that many have deemed Hitch [[UrExample the unofficial "father"]] [[TropeMaker of Giallo cinema.]]
