In our third podcast, we take a look at three Italian films that were “inspired” by hugely successful Hollywood horror movies – Contamination (Luigi Cozzi’s fun take on Alien), The Last Shark (Enzo G Castellari’s Jaws clone) and Beyond The Door (Ovidio G Assonitis’s response to The Exorcist). All three directors take very different approaches to cashing in on genre blockbusters, and we’ll be discussing where they succeed and where they fail.
We’ve had some lovely feedback about the first couple of shows – please keep it coming, and if you have any suggestions for a group of films you’d like to hear us discuss in an upcoming podcast, let us know!
I’ve come to really look forward to this podcast; I know you’re only three episodes in, but I’ve enjoyed every episode so far! I am a podcaster myself that listens to WAY too many horror podcasts, and this show has climbed to the top of my “must-play-right-away” list whenever a new episode’s released!
Keep up the great work, gang . . . I look forward to future episodes!
