"Exploitation films have been made in every country with even a rudimentary film industry. The United States is particularly famous for it, but England had the Hammer films and the Philippines had a thriving exploitation industry, even producing the great Cirio Santiago. But there is no country that's committed itself to being so flamboyant in its exploitation, so stylish, raw and grotesque, as Italy.
For those of you with even a passing knowledge of this corner of filmmaking, some of these names — Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava and Umberto Lenzi, for instance — might be familiar to you. And you'd probably recognize titles like Zombie Flesh Eaters, Planet Of The Vampires and Cannibal Ferox. But these aren't those movies. These are the best of their forgotten masterworks, featuring all the cannibals, gore and bad dubs that you love, just in combinations you might not have seen before."
