Unsettling , sensationalistic and loathing Joe D'Amato picture with plenty of blood , gore and guts . Antropophagus II or Absurd or Rosso sangue (1981) is a sordid and scary explotaition movie that packs inexplicable disturbing occurrences , shocks, thrills , suspense , chills , hair-rising events and extremely gory final . Stars Mikos Stenopolis (George Eastman) , is a nutty man escaped from a hospital and undertaking a criminal spree . Along the way a priest-doctor (Edmund Purdom) hunting the man who has recently escaped from a medical lab, reaches a small town where the mutant continues his cannibalist massacre . He's. ...He's coming for you .Brutal ...Shocking! ...Violent! ...Savage! ...Not for the squeamish! .A Classic Gore Fest! Pray you survive the hunt. They rip out your fear and feed on it ! . Death awaits those who trespass in the realm of the living dead . It's not fear that tears you apart...it's him!
This scary and disagreeable movie is filled with some genuine fright , horror and doom. A sinister and unsettling flick that goes on growing more and more and developing little by little until the really gory finale . Thunderously overwhrought pile of Grand Guignol horror and displaying a lot of slaughter , mayhem , sickening images, stabbing , beheading and anything else . It is one of the nastiest , sleaziest and most brutal gore flicks ever produced in Italy . Including several women suffering grim , terrible and gory comeuppances and leaving nothing to the imagination . The plot is well known , plain and simple : a man has extraordinary amazing powers in Michael Myers and Jason style and making his angry could prove to be deadly with cannibalistic wishes . A familiar -but dull at times- script full of shocks, screams and surprises by writer/producer/actor Luigi Montefiori or George Eastman , giving a remarkable presence as the giant ghastly-looking dead man with supernatural regenerative abilities carrying out a killing spree , as he enhanced everything he was in and especially this role as a disfigured cannibalistic serial killer . Passable special effects , with special mention for the scenes of the girl burning in the oven . It's a better sequel to ¨Antrophofagus I¨dealing with a group of American students (Tisa Farrow , Saverio Vallone , Serena Grandi , Zora Kerova , among others) vacationing on a Greek island and with some really disturbing scenes of the pregnant woman comes up and as she's being strangled by the killer and her fetus is ripped out of her , here Tisa Farrow learns of the twisted cannibalistic murderer who methodically kills tourists and locals at the creepy island. This ¨Absurd¨resulting to be an exercise in pure depravity and regularly made by Aristide Massaccesi , now referring to himself as Joe D'Amato, he entered the "gore" genere films with Buio Omega (1979), which remains his most successful horror film, shot in four weeks on a low budget , while this ¨Absurd¨ was entirely filmed at Fiano Romano, Rome, Lazio, Italy and which had a thrilling and stinging music soundtrack by Carlo Maria Cordio . This Antrophofagus II (1981) was less successful than the previous one, ¨Gomia¨, but it's better made than Antrophofagus I (1980) . The film is well starred by Lui Montefiori the star of Antrophofagus and other gore genre flicks , being accompanied by other familiar faces who played in several Italian B-films , such as : Annie Belle , Charles Borromel , Katya Berger , Michele Soavi ,Ted Rusoff and Edmund Purdom.
The motion picture was middilngly directed by hack director Joe D'Amato or Aristide Massaccessi . This artisan was a prolific cameraman/writer/producer/director who made all kinds of genres . His first directing work was in 1972's low-budget Scansati... a Trinità arriva Eldorado (1972), co-directed by Diego Spataro, under the pseudonym Dick Spitfire, but it was a commercial failure. As he directed hardcore , soft-core, erotic films starring Laura Gemser, such as Emmanuel and francois (1975), Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977), Emanuelle in América (1977), Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade (1978), Erotic Nights of the Living dead , L'alcova (1985) . Gialli and Terror movies : Gomia or that he directed as "Peter Newton", Hitcher in the dark , Death Smiles on a Murderer , Buio Omega . Scifi and Sword-witchery : Ator , Ator l'invincibile, Ator 3 , 2020 Texas Rangers , Bronx Endgame, and many others . Rating : 4.5/10 . Average terror movie , it isn't apt for squeamish.
