Any faves there or opinions you want to share?
Mario Bava (probably my number 1 mostly because of his older atmospheric stuff) In my collection (all Arrow releases):I Vampiri
Black Sunday
Black Sabbath
The Girl who Knew too Much
Blood and Black Lace
Kill Baby Kill
A Bay of Blood
Baron Blood
Lucio Fulci (made some pretty decent gialli late 60s eearly 70s even though they don't really have RW value to me. I know The New York Ripper is well liked but that was the first in a series of 'monstrosities' to me and yes I have seen all of the man's horror flicks). In my collection:
Zombi 2
City of the Living Dead
The Beyond
House by the Cemetery
The Black Cat
Dario Argento (the guy has huge potential and a great craftsman but I find his style over substance approach not really satisfying. Especially Phenomena sounds like the coolest premise ever only to find out it's the umpteenth style exercise. Yeah Suspiria is hailed as one of the greastest horror movies. It does have its gruesome scenes but overall I find it rather empty and boring). So no I don't have any of him in my collection. Still 2 I would consider:
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (at least this has a decent story)
Trauma (more straightforward than his others)
Ruggero Deodato (honestly I haven't seen that much except for his most infamous ones and also 'The House at the Edge of the Park' That's how The original Last HOuse on the Left should have been like IMO) IN my collection:
Last Cannibal World
Jungle Holocaust
Guess I need to dig deeper into his filmopgraphy
Umberto Lenzi (I have seen a handful but I tend to forget which ones. NOt really a good sign.) Anyway those I have seen at least I can remember I did:
Man from Deep River (first cannibal movie with little cannibalism, disappointing)
Eyeball (seen yesterday, giallo not bad bur far from good rather repetitive and proly sleep inducing without the nudity)
Eaten Alive (well it's a cannibal movie and it copied a lot from other movies, better watch the ones it copies from cos this one doesn't offer much original)
Cannibal Ferox (very weak Cannibal Holocaust clone)
Ghosthouse (barely remember it)
