I still love it but must agree with the posts about the pacing being slow. Would still jump on a copy if it was released though and Absurd would be added without hesitation. I think Geoge Eastman is great anyway as I particularly enjoy the post Apoc stuff he was in.
Most of these old Italian horror flicks don't work too well nowadays with a modern audience.One of the reasons I collect them is down to nostalgia, that, and the fact that I genuinely enjoy them.I can understand why your missus was unimpressed, especially when you compare Anthro to a big budget contemporary horror movie.I think if I watched Anthro now for the first time, I wouldn't think much of it either.I'd still like it to get an uncut UK release though.
