I've see...The movie does live up to the title.<br /><br />I've seen a handful of Lenzi films. He's hit or miss for me. <i>Cannibal Ferox</i> is like a trashier, more artless rip off of <i>Holocaust</i>. <i>Nightmare City</i> isn't great but is kind of fun (and one of the main inspirations for <i>Planet Terror</i>). My favorite of the Lenzi films I've seen is actually <i>Ghosthouse</i>, which I cannot defend or explain but for some reason I love it. I hear <i>Eyeball</i> is really good but haven't tracked down a copy.Patrick Bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771837625286775607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-21654795560553070522016-04-04T20:26:41.486-05:002016-04-04T20:26:41.486-05:00Thanks Patrick!

There is something about these Italian horror filmmakers that is so fascinating and entertaining. The stylisation, the colours, the way these movies are put together; It's like a jolt to the senses I love it.<br />Have you seen any Umberto Lenzi? He's another I am interested in.

A few that I've seen lately that I'm sure I'll be writing about in the future include <i>Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key</i>, <i>Torso</i>, <i>The Black Belly of the Tarantula</i>, <i>The Red Queen Kills Seven Times</i>...with Fulci, I'd maybe start with <i>The Beyond</i> or <i>City of the Living Dead</i>.

I haven't explored too much outside of Argento and Bava but I'm really keen to. I LOVED Susperia, and I was only luke warm on Tenebrae the first time I saw it, but this article has definitely convinced me to go back and revisit. Looking forward to doing Profondo Russo and am super excited to eventually sink my teeth (literally) into some Fulci. Any other recommendations?Grant Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129686595219748897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-68548504699538324442016-04-01T16:10:15.766-05:002016-04-01T16:10:15.766-05:00Not too deep but it does come up.

I haven't seen Tenebrae since they played it at a Massacre, and I was half awake or whatever, so I didn't read after the spoiler section so I can rewatch it fresh after I get the blu. Nevertheless, I am very excited to see where this column goes since there are a bunch of straight up gialli I still haven't seen and a ton I would love to read your opinion on.

Once I started importing LD in the mid 1990s, it was wonderful to finally see "Tenebrae" in its complete glory. <br />Seriously, try sitting through "Unsane" and you can understand why so many people in the states thought Argento was an incoherent mess. <br />It's so funny, Patrick seeing you dive into the Italian horror genre so wholeheartedly now after so many years. I still remember the joke you made at the end of your favorite zombie film podcast in which you said not to ask you about Fulci because he would never make it onto your list. Well, look at you now. :)Cameron Cloutierhttp://www.bodianstfilms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-68291703836306869442016-03-29T16:31:23.930-05:002016-03-29T16:31:23.930-05:00If you google translate the tag at the top of this...If you google translate the tag at the top of this it's pretty hilarious :) Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-11491336793376989152016-03-29T15:24:29.199-05:002016-03-29T15:24:29.199-05:00God I want this so bad, but the bluray is so expen...God I want this so bad, but the bluray is so expensive.

I generally like to watch older Genre films in a nostalgic, dirtied-up, distorted fashion, but I think with Giallo's adn Italian Horror that I make the exception cause they are just damn beautiful to miss out on what was initially the Director's vision.
