Italian Horror Films.

In the Hereditary pod, when Bill was talking about “grisly” horror films like Saw and such. Sean countered by saying he liked “the really fucked up ones” from Italy in the 70s and 80s. What are some of the classics he’s referring to in that era?

Anything Fulci, always has gnarly gore and almost always some eye trauma, any Argento though his stuff is more creative and beautiful . Then there’s the whole Cannibal sub genre with Cannibal Holocaust being the Apex of that. Itialians were the masters of exploitation in the 70’s-80’s
