ive not seen any of his stuff apart from anthro, a film that is the subject of some article I m trying to pull together.

I did watch a documentary of his career this weekend (1hr) that came with the anthropophagus 2 disc - the guy apparently built 6 films around a bit of pirate footage he'd bought- now that for me is priceless the idea that the stock footage came before the film ideas,

in the documentary he comes across as a lovely chap but a bit of a hack. Anthro is a faultless horror film though, he gets suspense and mood just right. even without the notorious scene antho would have worked as a horror,
