Spasmo (Stars: Robert Hoffmann, Suzy Kendall, Ivan Rassimov Directed by: Umberto Lenzi)
From the most controversial of all the Italian horror directors, CANNIBAL FEROX man Umberto Lenzi, comes SPASMO – a slick and sick psycho-thriller that stands tall as one of the giallo genre’s most colourful crime-capers. Starring a cast of Euro-shock veterans, such as sexy Suzy Kendall (THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE) and the chiselled-chinned Ivan Rassimov (LAST CANNIBAL WORLD), Lenzi’s carefully paced, and frequently surreal, murder-mystery shows that he is about more than just the gore. A genuinely accomplished achievement, with plot twists galore and a mind-boggling climax, SPASMO is a must-see for anyone who misses the classic era of Rome-based bloodshed.
