BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Omicidio al Telefono (1994)
Murder on the Phone finds a homicidal clown named Codino who is obsessed with killing the women of phone sex lines. If you say, “That sounds a lot like the plot of 1989’s Out of the Dark,” well, perhaps Bruno Mattei — using the name Frank Klox — would like you to know that that movie […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Zombi 4: After Death (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Man, Bruno sure liked making zombie movies. Who can blame him? They sell ad we’re still talking about them! This review originally ran on June 12, 2018. Director Claudio Fragasso refers to this film as the “last gasp” of Italian zombie movies. If you’re expecting Zombi, well, let’s not forget the movies that Claudio […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Shocking Dark (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This originally ran on our site on June 7, 2018. I absolutely love this ridiculous movie to the surprise of no one. “Venice before the year 2000. Squares, museums and churches. Tourists crowd the streets. Venice is threatened by the high tide. The seaweed is killing the oxygen in the waters and the […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Tre pesci, una gatta nel letto che scotta (1990)
With a title that translates as Three Fish, A Cat in the Hot Bed, perhaps it’s best that this Bruno Mattei — using his David Graham name — movie was retitled Three for One when it came out in the U.S. And by came out, I assume it played late night cable* and was on the “mature, but […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Hanna D. – La ragazza del Vondel Park (1984)
Remember Christiane F.? Hanna D. could be her Italian cousin, but one who doesn’t come from a place of true story but from a not-so-distant exploitation place. Where Christiane’s story served to warn others — and got all manner of young girls across Europe to head off to the places in the movie and do drugs — Hanna’s […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Virus – l’inferno dei morti viventi (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Frederick Burdsall didn’t like this movie as much as I did. Because I don’t like this movie. I love it. Bruno Mattei got hired to make this, being asked by Spanish producers to make something like Dawn of the Dead but happier, if that was possible. He made this under the name Vincent Dawn, […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Snuff Trap (2003)
Snuff Trap feels like Bruno Mattei finally got sick of making all those interchangeable softcore romance movies and said, “You know, I’m at my best when I have no filter.” Welcome back, Bruno. Or Pierre Le Blanc, as you’d like to be known as here. After her daughter Lauren gets abducted, Michelle (Carlo Solaro, Paprika, Top Girl) […]
