Absurd.

Edmund Purdum is a priest who is chasing an insane madman Mikos(george eastman), who has under gone genetic experiments which mean that his blood clots very quickly and can only be killed like a zombie by destruction of the brain. he eventually catches up with him and impales him on some gates, but after being taken to hospital, eastman escapes after murdering a nurse with a power drill.

Mr Joe D'amato directs this pretty good follow up to Anthropophaous, even if it has very little in common with the first one.
It does lack a lot of the great atmospheres of Anthrop, but it is still fairly entertaining and has some classic kills, especially the very nasty bandsaw scene, although it is clearly a piece of pork in the close up shots. and a great scene were Annie Belle from House on The Edge of The park ends up in the oven.

Also added to the mix is a interesting Halloween type score that they really get their moneys worth out of. and is used a lot in the climatic scenes at the villa with disabled teen Katia.
One annoying part though is the inclusion of yet another annoying child actor who is always having temper tantrums. why are children so annoying in Italian horror?

yes I enjoyed this one despite the fact that it does drag a little at times, especially in the scenes were they are watching the football game on TV. but I still rate it 78 out of 100.
