By the way, what are your favorite Ruggero Deodato films? I'm thinking about buying Cannibal Holocaust, Jungle Holocaust, House on the Edge of the Park ( I saw the preview for this on my Zombi 4: After Death disc and it is filled with gorgeous naked babes!), Cut and Run and Phantom of Death. Have you seen any of his films and what did you think?

YES! I have been waiting forever to get Phenomenon - that's excellent news! I managed to get a great copy of Tenebre at a little shop in B'more, but the only copy I have of the other is Creepers, and I can't even watch it.
To maryjeanand9others - Deodato certainly has a way of getting underneath your skin. I haven't seen Jungle Holocaust but I've watched the other two. Intense! -

LOL! I never made that connection but that's pretty funny. Let's just say that Argento's Phenomena is a much better film and leave it at that. I'm definitely putting Deodato on my list to buy from Amazon based on your recommendation. I love to be creeped out and he seems like just the guy to do it!

Well I haven't seen them all and I'm not sure of the order but I'll give this a go. I don't think he's ever made a '9' or a '10' movie but he was a pretty good director,esp. of horror,in the 70s and 80s. Since then he's made a fair bit of crap though!

I'll be honest; I can't say that I "enjoyed" Cannibal Holocaust or House By. . .it was more like the "Last House on the Left" experience, if you know what I mean. Pretty brutal. As a fan of the genre, I felt that I 'had' to give it a view! I did like the moral of Cannibal, so to speak. It made a good point. It'll stay with you for a bit, too.

Yeah I didn't enjoy CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST either but it's probably the best of the cannibal genre. The only other Deodato i've seen is LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN which was alright, not too violent and not as good as other eurocrime films imo (like Fulci's CONTRABAND).

I'm still going to give Ruggero a chance because, as Chop Top said in TCM2 ('music is my life!'), cannibal/zombie flicks are my life! Although I have to say that Geo De Rossi's zombies in Fulci's Zombi 2 are the best I've ever seen!

I can handle a lot (everything Fulci), but Cannibal Holocaust was just upsetting. Watch House on the Edge of the Park. It is a good film IF you just disregard the last two minutes of the film and pretend that tacked-on nonsense dialogue between captor and captive never happened - you will see what I am talking about and hopefully appreciate it more. In the behind the scenes commentary Hess admitted there was no acting in the sex scene!
Cut and Run is fun as well(the casting may pleasantly surprise you). Odd logic, totally bizarre, very Italian.
and Yes beware of bad copies. I watched edited (butchered) versions of New York Ripper, Slave of the Cannibal god, and House by the Cemetery and was totally clueless. -

I know what you mean. I watched the Diamond version of House by the Cemetery which was severely butchered and that may have been why I didn't like it. Thanks for the Deodato reviews. I think I'm going to hold off on him for a while. I finished my retrospectives of Fulci and Argento and next I'm going to start on my De Palma collection. The Italian Hitchcock and the American Hitch! Classic stuff. My favorite Fulci is Zombi 2 and my favorite Argento is Tenebre. But I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked Dario's Phantom of the Opera and Sleepless. The man still has his touch! I have high hopes for The Third Mother.

LUCIO FULCI is one of the greatest directors of all time, he should of worked with better Italian actors though, ie Laura Gemser etc.
All his films from 1980 until 1988 get 10 out of 10!
the rest are just bonuses to the filmography of a great visionist -

maryjean.. ..
you haven't mentioned Bava. You'll most likely really enjoy his work if you haven't dabbled into his filmography yet. I was slow getting there, but now I've got about 17 of his films and love him. BTW, besides DePalma, Argento and Fulci, you also mentioned Lynch and Kubrick - all my faves. Lynch and Kubrick most DEFINITELY are influenced by Bava!!
Lemme know whatcha think! -
