Absurd [88 Films Blu-ray]

Brittioriginaali, eli toimii normaalisti suomisoittimissa mutta ei suomitekstejä. Tekstit englanniksi. 

Mikos (George Eastman, Hands of Steel), an unstoppable killing machine, is on the loose in a sleepy American town. The town’s only hope is a mysterious priest (Edmund Purdom, Pieces) who has been hunting this madman around the globe. As the bodies pile up, desperate Police Sergeant, Engleman (Charles Borromel, Ladyhawke), teams up with the priest in hopes of stopping Mikos from slaughtering more and more of his town folk. A would-be sequel to Joe D’Amato’s infamous Anthropophagus: The Beast, this notorious splatter classic finally returns to UK shelves after three decades of obscurity thanks to 88 Films. Co-starring Anne Belle (House on the Edge of the Park) and Michele Soavi (Stage Fright), and featuring over-the-top death scenes that linger long after viewing, Absurd is essential viewing for any self-respecting horror fan and is presented here, uncut and remastered in 4K from the original camera negative.

Here we have the supposed sequel to “Anthropophagus”, ok…… no real follow on that I could see. Who am I to argue though?
George Eastman is being chased through the Woods by a guy half his size. Why he didn’t turn on him and punch his lungs out is still a mystery. He doesn’t. In an attempt to evade the man he starts to climb a big wrought iron gate with some spikes on top. The man pulls his bell bottoms causing poor George to get impaled. Queue one gruesome visitor to the house with his innards now hanging out. He is taken to hospital where it is quickly found out that he is basically immortal. After killing a Nurse, he’s free again. After dispatching a guy by cutting his head open with a bandsaw he is really on the lamb. It then turns into a film similar to Halloween. With George being pursued by the guy at the start of the film turning out to be a Priest. A bit more carnage ensues, but mostly it’s not as gory as the earlier stuff. A lot of the violence in the later part is more against poor George.
It’s a cult classic for sure. Well paced. Another “who’s who?” of cult cinema make up the cast.
I really think D Amato and Eastman were the Lennon and Mcartney of exploitation cinema.
My hat is off to them both.
