Are the italian horrorfilms much better & having more gore than the Hammer british?

Question

We just remember the glory names like Mario Bava, Dario Argento or Lucio Fulci who have knocked down the market of Hammer Horror in the end of 70´s. & having more surrealistical gores than the Hammer british horror classic?

what do the other british horror fans believe? I´m collecting all dvd movies from those italian allmighty directors.

Answer 1

In the 60s Hammer gore wasn't on overload. Maybe a few beheadings, burns, and loss of hands. The horror films in the seventies had more and more blood, though a lot of thanks goes to Hammer, just as much thanks goes to George Romero's infamous classic Night of the Living Dead. Still, I prefer gothic horror over modern so Italian or Hammer I prefer over modern horrors.

Answer 2

regrettably, i have no longer seen any Italian Horror videos (or any Italian videos, come to imagine of it). although, i became conscious of Dario Argento (and his daughter, Asia), as I had watched a particular documentary on him those days. i'd purchase some low-priced Italian DVDs off of ebay or someplace. And the language large difference would not difficulty me as i do not ideas subtitles. I even ought to apply them on each and every occasion I watch my determination of jap horror videos.
