- Italian screenwriter and director, best known for splattery gialli and horror films (though he also made westerns and comedies). His films seldom pass up an excuse for gore, and the effects are consistently over-the-top — sometimes horrifyingly convincing, sometimes amusingly fake, but always extreme. His films are driven by theme rather than visual style; they tend to be deeply pessimistic, and propelled toward nihilistic Downer Endings.
