DEATH SMILED AT MURDER

Before Joe D'amato began filming softcore and hardcore films he was a cinematographer and director for a couple very effective Gialli (WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO SOLANGE, THE KILLER IS ON THE PHONE) and Horror films (THE DEVIL'S WEDDING NIGHT). Here he directs Klaus Kinski and gorgeous Ewa Aulin in this wild story of a man who uses an ancient Incan formula to raise the dead and uses it for his own series of revenge murders. Bizarre, surreal and at times incomprehensible, this D'Amato film (which he also scripted) is full of hypnotic scenes and strong scenes of violence.
