Yup, the Grindhouse edition is very good.

People should not only focus on his 80s Horror movies and explore the fantastic giallo Perversion Story and the historical drama Beatrice Cenci which is two of his most underrated films.

Don't like any others or just not seen them?

[demonknight]

Don't like any others. The beyond,house by the cemetery,new York ripper and contraband areok. Have 'em all I just don't watch them as much as I do city and zombie.

I haven't seen Contraband, I'll have to get myself a copy of the BU DVD.I've heard it's chock-full of Fulci's trademark graphic violence.

Contraband is a great film. Too bad this was Fulci's only film in the genre. Would have loved to seen him work with genre staples Merli and Silva.

The film also has some surprising bits of gore as well, not to mention a fun little cameo from Fulci as a don.

I, too, wish Fulci would have done more with the Crime genre; Contraband is one my of my all time favorites from both his filmography and the Eurocrime genre on the whole!

I think Fulci's unrelenting pessimism made him a perfect director for Euro-crime, much more than it did for spaghetti westerns. Not that I didn't like his westerns, just think that given his temperament he'd have made a near perfect Euro-crime director.
