BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Emanuelle and the Erotic Nights (1978)
Known in Italy as Emanuelle e le porno notti nel mondo n. 2, this movie is more like the Superman and Batman of Italian scummy cinema teaming up, as Joe D’Amato and Bruno Mattei (credited as J. Metheus) team up to unleash their absolute lack of restraint upon audiences, bringing along Laura Gemser, Black Emanuelle herself, […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Gatta Ala Pari (1993)
Ninì Grassia may have wrote, produced and wrote the music for this film, but in moments you can tell that it was directed by our pal Bruno Mattei, who didn’t even use one of his many names and just went anonymous (although Gianni Cozzolino, who did second unit on Mattei’s Legittima Vendetta and Omicidio al Telefono is […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Cruel Jaws (1995)

BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Rats: The Night of Terror (1984)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Oh man, this movie. I love this movie. I also realize that it is complete junk, but I love it for the same reason I love potato chips! This originally was on our site on June 26, 2018. In the Christian year 2015, the insensitivity of man finally triumphs and hundreds of atomic […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Casa privata per le SS (1977)
As World War II comes to a close, the top Nazi officials have become crazed when it comes to discovering anyone who wants to overthrow Adolf Hitler. Their plan?

BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Scalps (1987)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We covered Scalps back on October 24, 2020. Seeing as how we’re celebrating all things Bruno Mattei this week, let’s discuss it all over again.
