EliseHOST
And then there were two other movies.
EliseHOST
There was, um, a movie called, uh, La Casa [laughs] Casa 3, or The House 3, from Umberto Lenzi.
TonyHOST
Ooh, okay.
EliseHOST
Mm-hmm.
Scott WestGUEST

Liam CarmeloHOST
S- somebody once asked Umberto Lenzi, the director of, of course, Nightmare City, you know, he made all these great, uh, zombie films.
Liam CarmeloHOST
He was like, "My films aren't zombie films.
Liam CarmeloHOST
They're infected people movies." Do you think this falls into that line? Do you, is this an infected people movie versus a zombie film? Because of course, as we find out during this film, they are being infected with this radiation pesticide, as Matt said earlier in this episode.
Dave ParkerHOST
next one here is from Cult Epics.
Dave ParkerHOST
And this is a film by Umberto Lenzi.
Dave ParkerHOST
And this is a genre that I'm not super, you know, I wouldn't say interesting.
Dave ParkerHOST
I just stopped super versed in it.
Dave ParkerHOST
And of course, this is Criminal, the 4K here.
Dave ParkerHOST
Umberto Lenzi directed this one in 66.
Dave ParkerHOST
And the commentary helped a lot with Ercolani and Troy Haworth, who I love.
Dave ParkerHOST
I love their commentaries.
Millie De ChiricoHOST
It was made in 1980.
Millie De ChiricoHOST
It was directed by Umberto Lenzi, who is well-known in my brain for making Cannibal Ferox.
Millie De ChiricoHOST
Have you ever seen Cannibal Ferox? No.
Millie De ChiricoHOST
A.K.A. Make Them Die Slowly.
James EldredHOST
But I watched two B-movies.
James EldredHOST
I watched Criminal... which is a Italian movie, I believe, by Umberto Lenzi from 1966.
James EldredHOST
Umberto Lenzi did Cannibal Pharaoh, Eyeball, which is not a bad gallo, Ghost House, which is a bad movie.
James EldredHOST
Um... uh, Rome on to the teeth, which is pretty good.
James EldredHOST
A good gallo version of Diabolique called so sweet, so perverse that has, uh, kale Baker in it.
KevinHOST
you really compare them, though? It just feels hard to put that.
BillHOST
Again, I think this lives more in the Umberto Lenzi and Ernesto Gastaldi, Dario Argento wheelhouse.
BillHOST
I don't think it's really comparable to those two guys.
BillHOST
De Palma, maybe.
Nick JacksonGUEST
I think it was...
Nick JacksonGUEST
Was it Umberto Lenzi or something? Or no, it wasn't Thanos.
Nick JacksonGUEST
Somebody else said that it has to be a mystery that you can solve.
Nick JacksonGUEST
It has to be a mystery that you...
