To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Lucio. I find that most of his horror movies are barely tolerable, with the exception of ZOMBI 2, which I do like, and would defend. I prefer him when he's working outside the horrorShaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-42591130067426844852012-02-03T18:53:31.128+00:002012-02-03T18:53:31.128+00:00I was laughing like crazy during this one.

It just had too many funny unintetionaly funny moments, like the scenes with the dolphins for example...but ultimately it is an incoherent mess and a boring one at times...if it wasnt for the cheesiness, this one would be completely unwatchable. <br /><br />I think that look the film has was trying to immitate the look of Clash of the Titans, another Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-79346882130603543542012-02-03T01:06:49.544+00:002012-02-03T01:06:49.544+00:00I haven't watched this one in years.

I wonder about the gauze-like approach to the cinematography, though. I became aware of this movie around 1988 from a still of it in a magazine that is far more visible than what transpires on screen.

I've had a copy of this film for about three years, but only actually got around to watching it for the first time last week. I think it goes without saying I won't be watching it again. But this is not a new thing for me and the works of Lucio Fulci. I find many of his films to be equally problematic.

About the only thing I end up liking is what I think to be a poetically symbolic ending, but it’s not worth waiting the entire movie for. The scene you mention with the heroes, if they can be called that, killing a random hunter to steal his food, starts things off with a bad taste and is one of the most bizarre Giovanni Susinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253382939348997303noreply@blogger.com
