The fat oaf and his terrible eating habits is a little much, but the rest of it does in fact rock, as does your cogent essay thereon.

Sorry I'm just now getting to this. I a...Neil:<br /><br />Sorry I'm just now getting to this. I agree with your assessment that Soavi's film is, "arguably a little too packed with ideas and satiric sideswipes for its own good." I haven't seen the film for a couple of years, but that's what I remember about it, too. That's not to say it isn't one of the best examples of the comedy/horror hybrid, but I prefer earlier Soavi films to this one. Sometimes <i>Cemetery Man</i> gets a little too wacky for my liking, but for a '90s Italian horror, it's really damn good (and probably the best horror movie to come out of Italy during that time). <br /><br />I'm really surprised someone hasn't tried to remake this here in the States. For all the remakes and reboots in the horror genre, Italian horror has been pretty much untouched. Perhaps the fanboy directors have too much respect for it (although I still want to see Tarantino remake Fulci's <i>Murder to the Tune of Seven Black Notes</i>, as he's claimed to want to do). Not saying I want a remake...just surprised that Italian horror has been left alone by a generation of filmmakers that watched it growing up on dodgy VHS tapes. Kevin J.

Andrea Bianchi is one of the unsung heroes of crass exploitation! <br /><br />Digging your Halloween Hootenanny selections, as well.

I need to revisit this one in some greater depth myself at some point as I felt I barely began to do it justice yesterday. I'll definitely be having a proper dig into your blog when I get chance and am looking forward to your future posts as well :)<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Simon Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662702289853347151noreply@blogger.com
