...the characters used later on, surrounded by perfectly lit red and green plumes of smoke. Equally amazing is the breadth of this film's influence. Take away the Pop Art palate and it's pretty easy to everything that inspired Ridley Scott's ALIEN.

A masterpiece of mise en scène. It is frankly amazing how good this looks given how little money Bava and his crew had to work with. Nothing seems out of place, from the macro landscapes and architecture to the micro futuristic details, such as the video communicator...

A giallo of sorts that substitutes the colors of a Dutch still life for the genre's usual Pop Art palate. Almost functions as a meta-commentary on the trajectory of Italian horror in the 1970s/1980, the genre simulating death in increasingly realistic and gruesome ways.

As mind-bending as it is revolting, pushing human flesh to its absolute limits then asking the viewer to go a step further. The woman eating herself may be the grossest thing I've ever seen, but the gore is oddly beautiful (one more way to film mixes up pain and pleasure)...

...Lenzi's direction also may be more workmanlike than some of his better-known contemporaries, but he does have some great little directorial touches, such as the reveal of a lawnmower driving itself around Maria Rosaria Omaggios's front lawn.

...is easy to mock, but I can't deny the power of his imagery (immaculately lit by Sven Nykvist). Woody Allen may be Bergman's no. 1 fan, but David Cronenberg has been the best keeper of his legacy, grounding his existential questions in our physical existence.
