Body Puzzle? Lamberto Bava? I really like it.

But then I also like Photos of Goia, so what do I know?

Nah, Puzzle (L'uomo senza memoria) by Duccio Tessari, who also directed The Bloodstained Butterfly.

I'd also recommend a watch. The sequels aren't a patch on the first film, but also a fun watch.

I haven't seen either. Am I missing out on some special films?

Not with Puzzle (L'uomo senza memoria) you're not. I found it mildly watchable. Picked up a bit in the third act, but all rather bland and tame on the whole. Needless to say it won't make my list . . .

Indeed, but it does have Senta Berger with a chainsaw.

True. Just a shame she turned out to be totally ineffectual with it, and had to have the dull amnesia bloke come and save her . . .

Really diverse selection of films there. I watched The Tin Drum last week and, although it was dark at times, didn't consider it a horror film, but that's the beauty of subjective nature of films.

You're not a fan of The Exorcist, I take it?
