Wait, am I seeing this right? Some of these films haven't even been unwrapped yet? 😁
They’ve been unwrapped; it’s just an optical illusion.
San watched Diabolik last night, and honestly, I can't believe how Mario Bava manages to craft such top-tier pulp nonsense. Absolute cult material.
Has anyone actually sat through anything by Lenzi? I caught Cannibal Ferox and it was fine, but nothing to write home about.
I feel the same way regarding Lenzi, though I might suggest the nihilistic
Almost Human.
I am currently preparing myself to sit down and watch The Player - A Picture of the Times (Dr. Mabuse). I recently viewed Metropolis, which was truly a staggering piece of cinema. I cannot quite recall what else I have watched lately—perhaps Camille from 1921, though I suspect I didn't actually see it through to the end 🙄.
On various international forums, the most fervent recommendations tend to be Sunrise and City Girl by F.W. Murnau.
What on earth is this? What kind of list and breakdown is this if it doesn't even include Sergio Martin 😠? Fine, you could argue "Morte sospetta di una minorenne" is mentioned, but that’s just some hybrid mess.
And honestly, where else would you find a more obvious nod to Edgar Allan Poe than in the film "Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key"?!
We really should have used the actual movie titles here. For 1970, we're talking about 'Scars of Dracula,' but based on the description, that doesn't even seem to be the film being polled. Regardless, 'Scars...' is such an odd one. It feels dated, and it's peppered with these totally unnecessary comedic bits, yet somehow more blood gets spilled in the first ten minutes than in all of Hammer's previous productions on this subject combined.

Pride comes before a fall, they say, but I simply couldn't help myself 😁. There are clearly still some enthusiasts of American genre cinema lurking here. Here is a small slice of my collection:
I’ll concede that *The Silence* belongs in the top ten absolute masterpieces of the genre, though I could never quite wrap my head around Jack Nicholson. Calling him "insane" might be a bit of an overstatement, but let’s just say he was a deeply volatile individual.
Regarding your search for a truly depraved character, you really ought to check out Al Pacino in *The Four Horsemen*.
