Umberto Lenzi

Director, writer and screenwriter. Prolific like few others, the Italian filmmaker’s movie career would allow for writing an entire encyclopedia of B Movies. From adventure to war movies, from westerns to pepla and his outstanding incursions into detective movies, no genre seems to have escaped from a filmography that, of course, delved forcefully into the fantastique and offered us cult films like: Kriminal (1966), Orgasm (1968), Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972), Spasmo (1974), Eaten Alive! (1980), Cannibal Ferox (1981) and City of the Walking Dead (1980).
