BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Belle da Morire 2 (2005)
Pierre Le Blanc — also known as Bruno Mattei — is back with another journey into the world of modeling. Much like Sparkles once said, “Well I guess I just my first taste of the filthy side of this business.” Also, only Bruno Mattei could get away with taking a big chunk of his movie Body […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Belle da Morire (2002)
Vincent Dawn is the name Bruno Mattei used to make this movie, which is seemingly shot all in the same two or three rooms and feels like an even lower rent Showgirls, which is exactly the kind of movie that I want to watch Mattei make. How do you know it’s Bruno Mattei? Because there’s an […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Another take on Shocking Dark (1989)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Herbert P. Caine is the pseudonym of a frustrated academic and genre movie fan in Pennsylvania. You can read his blog at https://imaginaryuniverseshpc.blogspot.com.

BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Zombi 3 (1988)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We watched this back on June 11, 2018. It’s not as good as it could be, but still lots of fun.

BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Notti Porno nel Mondo (1977)
Not to be confused with Emanuelle and the Erotic Nights — that’s the safer one — this film finds Joe D’Amato and Bruno Mattei at the helm, starting things off with Laura Gemser appearing as Emanuelle with one m, saying, “It’s your old friend Emanuelle again…” before taking us on a journey. What a horrific journey […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Attrazione Pericolosa (1993)
Dangerous Attraction tells the story of Carlo Monti (Gabriele Gori, The Bronx Executioner), a graduate student who wants to discover why his mother mysteriously died and get to know if his father — who was an Italian exploitation director — was involved. And who better to tell the tale of the foibles and vices of the scummy side of the Italian film […]
Sound of Violence (2021)
Alex Noyer made the documentary 808, which was all about the Roland TR-808, the drum machine that has been at the root of so much hip hop and pop music. He also wrote and directed a short called Conductor, which was about a music engineer who helps a young musician create music for a once-in-lifetime competition. […]
BRUNO MATTEI WEEK: Legittima Vendetta (1995)
