I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

"Absurd (1981)" it's an Italian slasher movie directed by Joe D' Amato, the film its very derivative, it takes many elements from "Halloween (1978)", like its music, its setting, its plot and its characters, obviously "Absurd" its not as good as "Halloween", but manages to deliver a healthy dose of gore and some intense killings.I watched the most complete version of the film, what this means is that its a version that tries to be as complete as possible, so its quality changes drastically from time to time, but honestly, that wasn't what bothered me the most while watching the film. Some of the worst aspects of this movie fall in its pacing, and in its awful dubbing. I believe that Joe D' Amato is a good director, he sometimes does awful z-movies to gain a quick buck, but he has some good movies on his filmography, like "Buio Omega (1979)" and "Emanuelle in America (1977)", this one it's not among his best films, but I wont say that its among his worst either.There were many times in this film when I found myself just hoping for boring and repetitive scenes to be over, so that the film could move on to the next gory and crazy scene, but there isn't much of a kill- count in this movie, just 6 people die, but those death scenes are quite gory and intense.I would recommend this movie to those who are familiar with Joe D' Amato's work and wouldn't mind sitting through this movie, its boring at times, it's characters are dull and forgettable, but it has some redeeming qualities, like the death scenes.

D'Amato's 1981 Rosse Sangue is a retread/rehash/remake-come-sequel to his previous year's cannibal classic Anthropophagus, again with George Eastman starring as a great, lumbering, murdering maniac, this time terrorising a small American town. The beast's penchant for munching on human flesh seems to have abated, replaced by a mechanical desire to kill everyone he comes into contact with. As usual with D'Amato, the magpie instinct leads him to not only rip-off his own work but also liberally steal from the work of others – with its seemingly supernatural beast-man haunting smalltown America, stalking babysitters and pursued by an "expert" who knows what he is and what he's capable of, Rosso Sangue aka Horrible aka Absurd aka Anthropophagus 2 is a dead ringer for the first two Halloween films. The festival of All Hallows Night is replaced here by that most American of ritual traditions, the televised event football game.The beast here bears some affinities with a zombie – he is dead, and the only way to kill him is to attack his cerebral cortex – go for the brain. He is pursued by a priest (played by that lovely old ham Edmund Purdom) who fulfils the same dramatic function as Pleasance's Dr Sam Loomis in the Halloween films. We first see the beast being pursued through a park by the padre, and our creature only manages to escape his clutches by leaping over a gate guarding the house of a wealthy family, ripping his beastly stomach open in the process. Imagine the family's surprise when Eastman comes ringing on their doorbell with his intestines hanging from his gut! Various twists and turns ensue, with the beast taken to hospital and then escaping to rampage, all ending up in the predictable stalking of the same house whilst the parents are out and the babysitter looks after the kids (in this case a Hair Bear-haired boy and a paraplegic young woman).The family and their house is worth commenting on. The house is slap bang in the middle of America, yet it is filled with the accoutrements of old Europe – antique furniture, a decorative suit of armour, a grand piano, figurative art. This brings to mind Franz Fanon's mid-twentieth century comment that "Two centuries ago, a former European colony decided to catch up with Europe. It succeeded so well that the United States of America became a monster, in which the taints, the sickness and the inhumanity of Europe have grown to appalling dimensions." The family who live in the house would seem to bear this out – the parents have a loveless marriage, the father is a callous businessman who drives away from a hit and run, the son is a strange little brute given to throwing tantrums when not allowed to get his own way; his father appropriately greets him with "hello, monster!" As with Anthropophagus, it appears that D'Amato is encouraging us to see the rampaging beast as the truth about his victims. But he also doesn't let us off the hook – we get a long, cold shot of the son sat writhing on his sofa as he watches a Joe D'Amato film! The final contrasts the parents sitting, guilt-ridden and anxious, watching the football game with neighbours as the monster turns their children's and employees' lives into a Darwinian struggle for survival. The pampered, cared-for paraplegic daughter is forced to get up from her bed and not merely walk but fight for her life; the final shot shows us that, in order to survive, the decadent bourgeoisie of American will find the same solutions as old Testament-inspired old Europe, as having beheaded the monster in medieval fashion, the daughter holds his severed head, standing as mad, proud and strident as Judith with the head of Holofernes.The padre has confessed that the monster is the product of an unlikely alliance between modern genetic science and old time religion. This monster is America itself. Despite the film's longueurs and incessant cinematic theft, D'Amato does manage to come up with another provocative, in-yer-face insult to the self-image of so-called civilised contemporary mankind.

This is one of the extremely hard-to-find films known as Video Nasties. It was released with two minutes and 32 seconds cut in 1983, and then withdrawn, and never re-submitted.The doctors are amazed when a patient (George Eastman) manages to survive an operation after being brought in with his guts hanging out. When he wakes, he does a little operating of his own on a nurse.We soon see that Mikos (Eastman) has superhuman powers, as bullets do not stop him in his second bloody kill. Even being run over by a car doesn't slow him down.The film features Annie Belle (The House on the Edge of the Park). Will she escape the boogieman, or become his 5th victim? Things get pretty heated before he is finished.Then he has a protracted battle with the injured daughter (Katya Berger), who managed to rise up despite her spinal injuries. In a miracle of modern medicine, she manages to swing an ax at him several times.Great ending!!

Joe D'Amato and George Eastman's follow-up to the notorious "The Grim Reaper" (Antropophagus) is sick, twisted and – oh yes – deliciously absurd! There's no real story and the amount of genuine chills is limited, but the gory murder sequences are sensational and they easily rank among the craziest stuff ever caught on film. Eastman once again portrays a Greek psycho-killer, though a different one than the fetus-munching monster in Antropophagus (love that title!), cheerfully butchering half the population of a small American town. Nikos isn't your ordinary madman, but a scientific guinea pig whose blood coagulates much faster and hence he instantly recovers from severe wounds, like gunshots or impalement. He's pursued by an unintelligible priest, a chain-smoking copper and his black assistant who isn't allowed to talk without permission. No wonder none of these blokes is capable of catching or even tracing Nikos and the body count increases immensely. Whenever George isn't barbarically killing someone using band saws, surgical devices or axes, "Absurd" is rather dull, slow-moving and borrowing story ideas as well as direct quotes from John Carpenter's landmark slasher Halloween. There's babysitters in peril, young kids spotting the bogeyman everywhere around the house and dangerous killers escaping from hospital beds. Still, if you're looking for really good horror cinema, just wait for the climax which is quite suspenseful and it makes the popular title "Absurd" all the more meaningful.
