with this movie and giallo a venezia and i think mario landi attempt to do something outrageous and black humored and gory a peter jackson first two movie and but fail to gain such popularity because he aim these element at the sexual and to which most of the audience be very sensitive . the fact that most of the violence be inflict on real human being instead of zombie or alien may have also contribute . this way and landi take the risk of be consider vulgar and misogynistic and but be definetly make something for the adult audience represent that be mostly male . it be very hard for me to agree with almost everyone who review this movie and giallo a venezia and because the question arise how do they sit through them in the first place since they have always be movie with such bad reputation . i in particular consider to be landi very successful in exactly what he aim for represent adult entertainment . neither giallo a venezia nor patrick life again try to be suspenseful but disgust and but i think they could not stray too much from their initial premise ( patrick vive ancora be some sort of sequel or remake of the excellent patrick and a thriller by richard franklin ) and and manage to build if not overall suspenseful athmospheres and at least some pretty good moment . landi be a skillful director who have experience in the field ( adapt george simenon novel to tv or cinema ) and manage to make me at least surprised a they be creative with some of the death depict at least in his version of patrick . i love the scene of the hanging and after the guy deal the card . i didnt understand the animal in the refrigerator ( maybe he be try to repeat a similar scene in his previous movie and the giallo ) and but it make me jump and and it definetly have the same spirit a peter jackson goriest idea . most people say that giallo a venezia be also technically flaw and but watch a good edition make recently on dvd of patrick make me reconsider this . the only edition of giallo that be still around be like from the early eighty and and it be logicall that by now they be wear out and and at least the one i watch have edit error that look more like they be make at the time of prepare the video edition . patrick edition look fine as far a the technical in the dvd and speaking in term of the movie itself . much and much bad or strong movie have be put out on dvd ( let u take for instance saló and by pasolini and or emmanuelle in america and from aristide massaccesi ) and and i dont see why giallo have not come out and and that they make an edited version of patrick . also and if you notice and in both movie people be always smoking or drinking to specific brand of whiskey and cigarette . i even suspect sponsorship from them a the character can not stop drinking or smoking from them in almost all the scene and and if so and i would not think that brand of such product will sponsor a child movie and either . both movie look like they be put together very quickly and which not necesarily make them bad and either . they share the same starring cast and and the location of movie from the same producer as well a mario bavas . this give them the look of fulcis movie . both landis and fulcis style be very comparable . only landi be much more cynical and dark humor and and rely a little more on the acting than the camera angle and movement of fulci . a little more old fashion . well and i think this movie have be spoil enough to be surprise by the outrageousness that they be consider to have and but this way if you have not see them and you will know what to expect . if you be in for some viciousness and dark humor ( which be the main ingredient ) and political incorrectness and this be for you . they really be pretty much like peter jackson movie . and remember and forget about it if you be under 21 .
