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! -
