Not to mention, it’s incredibly well shot. This film is a gory giallo that’s colorful and intense! Like any good giallo, it’s filled with red herrings and misdirects. You’re sure to have a blast with this one! Director Ted Geoghegan cites this as a major influence in his critically acclaimed feature film directorial debut We are Still Here.
Plus there’s an annoying kid named Bob who hears voices and has an awful haircut.
In this haunted house feature there’s a hideous monster, plenty of violence and a series of images you’ll never be able to unsee. This one is the final installment in Fulci’s ‘Gates of Hell’ trilogy. With Fulci’s knack for violence and gore, he delivers a series of memorable scenes in this film that continue to influence the likes of directors such as Quentin Tarantino. One of my favorite scenes involves a woman’s face being scalded off with a blow torch. And it proved to be a major influence for future generations of filmmakers.Īlthough this one isn’t a proper horror film, it is a gritty crime/action film with plenty of violence. This is even before the uber-catchy ‘You Are Not The Same,’ one of Frizzi’s many contributions to the songs of moviedom.Calling all gore lovers! City of the Living Dead features about as much violence as you’re apt to see from a film released in 1980! There’s plenty of absurd yet standout moments of gore in this film. Kept modern by mixing traditional orchestral elements with electric guitar and a wailing sax, there’s always a degree of underlying tension, mainly coming from the brass section, and there’s some amazing moments featuring a big organ and a sleazy keyboard riff. Frizzi’s talent for catchy tunes is always apparent, whether it includes the stereotypical wah-wah pedal effects or some grooving slap bass. Contraband’s main theme is a wonderful melody that is reprised throughout the score, with a suitable touch of melodrama. Fabio Frizzi’s music is irrevocably cool-and surprisingly upbeat at times. While the film is a crime thriller, it’s notorious (like all of Fulci’s pictures) for its uncompromisingly gory scenes of violence. Famed as part of the poliziotteschi movement, Contraband stars Fabio Testi as Luca, an Italian smuggler who is forced to take revenge against a new Mafioso boss after a gang war erupts into bloody murder. ***Death Waltz Recording Company are delighted to bring you something that’s a little away from the DW norm, yet still fits together with our other releases like a black leather glove: FABIO FRIZZI's score to the 1980 Lucio Fulci thriller Contraband (aka Luca Il Contrabbandiere).
