4.0 out of 5 starsnot for the faint hearted...
By Wherenext? on 17 July 2011
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
This BLU RAY will work on UK players!
Contains Blu-Ray and DVD discs.
A grim story from cult fave Joe D'Amato that became hugely controversial after it was rumoured that real corpses were used in the horrific 'autopsy' scenes. A story of necrophilia, incest and gruesome murder set in Northern Italy amongst a beautiful backdrop of mountains and valleys that surely will not be to everyone's taste. More horrific than most of the 'video nasties' of the time and certainly realistic, this is presented UNCUT, so proceed with caution!

5.0 out of 5 starsA grindhouse classic
By Blood Freak on 18 Dec. 2011
Format: Blu-ray
Joe D'Amato at his nastiest, in this gory and grim tale of necrophilia.

The lovely Cinzia Monreale (The Beyond) has dual roles, including that of the taxidermist's dead girlfriend. This leads to one of grindhouse cinema's most infamous moments ... a prolonged, bloody scene where her naked corpse is sliced open and her innards are removed. Afterwards, the taxidermist pumps the fluids out of her body, through her nostrils.

Not for the squeamish.

The blu-ray offers a slightly different version to the DVD version. It's missing approx 20 seconds of superfluous footage near the beginning of the film. All the gore and nudity is intact. This isn't a cut: Media Blasters sourced a better print of the film to make their HD master, and that print was designed for a market where that one scene had been removed for pacing reasons (common back at the time). The picture is a definite upgrade to previous DVD versions, but not as vivid or clean as most blu-ray transfers.

For purists, the DVD version of the film is also included, with extras, on disc 2.

Disc one (blu-ray) is playable worldwide. Disc two (DVD) is region 1 (USA). Extras include interview with Cinzea Monreale, scene-specific audio commentary from the film's art designer, trailers.

4.0 out of 5 starsgood shocker decent blu ray.
By Michael Dobey on 5 July 2012
Format: Blu-ray
This company , shriek show is putting some of their titles on blu ray. Ok, they do have a better definition: barely. The color is not restored though so the type of film here looks dull on blu ray. But it's better than the dvd version. HOwever there is no scratches and dirt damage that some other blu rays have. This was shot on cheap film in 1979. So like I said it's got a dull unrestored look, the color was never great on this one, but it was better when it came out back then. Ok, now for the movie, this was a low budget horror film from joe d'mato, and it's a decent one. It shocked people so bad back then that it caused outrage. They claimed that the movie used real dead people in it!! IT DID NOT!, it's a horrific story of a nercrophilliac who embalms his dead girlfriend. THe actress playing the dead girl also plays her living twin so that was good news for here. THis is dubbed into english which is fine. Their are interviews and a few other extras. But shriek show please do some more restoration work on your blus please. But at least there's no lines on this one.... The movie is four star for horror fans, who love italian gore flicks. NOn horror fans of this type of movie ,well you won't buy this one anyway.

5.0 out of 5 starsAristide Massaccesi, that lovely man
By Tom on 27 May 2006
Format: DVD
A film by Joe d'Amato, who mostly made horror and porn films, but who recklessly spoke the truth. One can either have nothing to do with the commercial world, and attack and reject it, or, like d'Amato, swim so low in the commercial sink, with so little to play for, that one gains a strange sort of freedom. A freedom, like a child, to see his dreams through to their logical conclusions, without diversions or dishonesty.

This film is about a man in love with his dead wife, who like a lot of men prefers her to be dead. The film is seen through the eyes of that woman, and asks what it means to be desired by a man. Buio Omega has been criticised for lacking poetry, for being cheaply shot, for smothering everything with vulgar blood and entrails, and it is a very vulgar film. But that is a function of its peasant honesty and its materialism - no gauze and dry ice in a d'Amato film to mask what lies underneath desires and dreams: we're made of flesh and bone, not poetry.

There is a lovely satirical scene at the engagement lunch - d'Amato is very fond of his grotesques. Is it well-acted or not? Is it well-paced and structured? It doesn't matter. Joe d'Amato is too honest to care much about such things, and besides he has a child-like love of the forbidden - like shooting a scene with the sun in front of the camera, he never tires of that. His films are not well-made or well-furnished; they are better than that. His Buio Omega and Emanuelle in America together say everything Eyes Wide Shut could not, for all Kubrick's formal ingenuity. The only subject that film has left is its own remoteness and the emptiness of its fantasies.

But as d'Amato knew, there are always suffering, material people beneath the surface sheen.Read more ›
