The Podcast Under the Stairs – 88 FILMS ITALIAN COLLECTION SERIES – DISC 3 – SPASMO

Welcome to a brand new sub-set of show exclusively looking at the Italian Collection releases of 88 Films.

88 Films have, for the last 2 years or so, have been on a tear releasing a torrent of Italian genre classics in high definition. I have been purchasing them and it should be no surprise to anyone, I have left them pretty much unwatched (what can I say…I’m a compulsive collector).

In order to watch the movies I buy, and of course create some quality content for you all Under the Stairs, I will be running through each of the movies on this bonus series between 1-2 movies a month depending on the TPUTS schedule.

So strap yourself in for a rollercoaster ride of alleged plagiarism, zombies, gore, rape, genital mutilation, sexism, revenge, gialli, cops and robbers, cannibalism, sci fi & more bush and titties than an annual subscription to Penthouse magazine.

Disc 3 in the 88 Films Italian Collection is a Gialli from one of the more controversial directors in Italian genre cinema. Sit back and enjoy the utterly bonkers Spasmo (1974) by Umberto Lenzi.

The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn’t Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved It

Spasmo:

Duncan: 3.5

Up next on the Italian Collection Series is Disc 4 – Lamberto Bava’s Blastfighter (1984).
