I've no problem with sexual shenanigans in Spaghetti slashers but i tend to prefer the latter element more than the former. The merciless murderer with mysterious motives cutting up unfeasibly beautiful Eurobabes. I may well be wrong but OOF seems to me to be devoid of said stalk 'n' slash trapping, relying on erotic events and imagery instead. Just my personal preference and i've certainly no complaint with Shameless issuing Lenzi's scarce slice of salaciousness on DVD. The more Italian exploitation the better as far as i'm concerned.

put it this way, I got the ironing board out.

I must admit i was thinking more or less along the same lines regarding the film.

Some people have taste, others have flat socks.

You've lost me. Could you explain further what you mean exactly? Maybe I'm thick, but I'm just not getting it.

I've merged these threads since there is already an official Oasis of Fear thread.

Was the start of a silly thread called 'Zombie Liam Gallagher' before it was merged, if that clears it up
