Anyone have a favorite director/producer from Europe or Italy?
Any recommended movies you can share? Last night I watched part of the Horror DEMONS... -Dario Argento- What a sick, sick, movie! Dario is Nutz! All the puss and green gooo was a bit much, but I guess the Euro-Italian type's are really into the zombie stuff. Thanks for some new names! Bolt
Follow Ups:
Have you seen any other early Argento films besides Susperia? (i.e. before he went gore crazy). Profundo Rosso (Deep Red) is one of my all time favourite films. Most early Argento films have interesting plots and themes, tension and suspense, great soundtracks and great camera work. Try and find "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", Cat'O'Nine Tails" and "Deep Red".
You are right on with Demons - it is crap, but Argento only produced it, Lamberto Bava (son of Mario) directed it - too much reliance on latex and tomato sauce :~)BTW Italian label Dagored are reissuing a few Goblin/Argento soundtracks. I just bought the LP of Profundo Rosso. It is excellent.
Cheers

Not on point, but you might like Andy Warhol's Dracula and Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, both done by Paul Morrissey. Lots of humor admist the gore.
And alot of Style too !

I didn't realize that there was a remake. I'd be interested in seeing it. Susperia is a great movie! Them maggots falling out of the sealing and the Bright Red eyes of the demon at night outside the second floor window, a prized movie for me for its effectiveness. It took a while before I could feel comfortable about looking through a window late at night for an extended period of time. A creepy movie that some how seems to be in a time warp. Great color!
Get his Repulsion and Knife in the Water, that should entertain you a bit.But if you want ******REAAAAALALLLLLLLLLLLLL****** horror, perversion and revulsion, get Pasolini's Salo.
Polanski is currently in talks with the LA District Attorney's Office to come back to the US, and face the sex charges against him. I understand that he will make a plea and get no jail time.Im sure that business considerations are involved and the "fix" is in.
(Pasolini's Salo) sounds like weird one! I couldn't hold down demons last night so I doubt I'll be able to handle that one, but I'll give it a try if I can find it.
