Joe D'Amato Totally Uncut - The Horror Experience (2017)
**** (out of 4)
If you're a fan of the work by Joe D'Amato then this here will certainly be a must-see. This here is a follow-up to the previous TOTALLY UNCUT documentary, which looked at the Erotic films the director made. This one here pretty much covers everything he did with any sort of horror element. We basically see clips from the films and hear the director share his memories of making them. The film discussed include: DEATH SMILED AT MURDER, EMANUELLE IN America, EMANUELLE AND THE LAST CANNIBALS, EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD, PORNO HOLOCAUST, IMAGES IN A CONVENT, CALIGULA THE UNTOLD STORY, FRANKENSTEIN 2000, ENDGAME, ANTROPOPHAGUS, DEEP BLOOD, ABSURD, KILLING BIRDS and some of the films he produced like Fulci's DOOR TO SILENCE, WITCHERY and BEYOND DARKNESS.
At just 68-minutes there's quite a bit of stuff going on here. Thankfully all of the movies I mentioned are discussed as well as several others. Sadly, D'Amato passed away before we could get countless interviews with him like we were able to do with Jess Franco. What's so great about this interview is that D'Amato is just so fun to listen to and he's so excited to be discussing his film. He even talks about his favorite films as well as some that he doesn't look back on too fondly. There are also interview clips with George Eastman and Al Cliver. There's a great bit of information to be found here and it's great having a pretty darn complete documentary that covers the various films that the director did.
