A killer with the ability of regeneration and priest hunting him down. A decent idea for a decent movie, right? Well, not if you ask D'Amato. See, this is an Italian movie made for Americans and it's so obviously European (in a bad way) it hurts. There are no memorable characters, in fact, there is no good acting at all and the big parts of movie feel bad, generic and bland. What's even worse, at one point kids get left with a babysitter and talk about boogeyman starts. And at that point I'm checking the year movie came out and with "Halloween" released three years before and second released in 1981. I start repeating in my head:"Don't do it D'Amato, don't do it D'Amato!" But it seems my time traveling telepathy doesn't work and he does just that. An Italian Halloween! Yeah... It doesn't work. Murders are gory but sloppy, film is obviously filmed in Europe (people eating spaghetti while watching an american football game, I mean, cmon D'Amato!) and the acting/dubbing made me cringe a lot. All in all, "Absurd" is a boring and tiresome movie which I cannot even recommend to the fans of the genre. It's not so bad it's unwatchable and it's ending scenes are somewhat interesting, but it's not really good enough to warrant watching. Avoid if you can. 5/10!
