Annibale
Antes de que Joe D'amato hiciera Buio Omega en 1979, tocó la muerte varias veces en sus trabajos anteriores. Este es el primer ejemplo del comienzo del trabajo del director con George Eastman, quien escribió el guión de este título. La historia trata sobre un niño inocente, que tiene miedo del sexo, por lo que toda su familia comienza a presionarlo y envía a las mujeres para persuadirlo. Las cosas vienen aquí a la idea de una muerte súbita bien actuada y una madurez perversa. Es una película muy especial para mostrar, pero aún así es una comedia grotesca negra con la ecléctica visión clásica de Massachessi sobre el humor italiano. Es raro encontrar títulos oscuros, pero lo recomendamos para aquellos que les gusta resolver las situaciones y fantasías más locas en su mente.
