Italian Gothic horror films of the 1970s were influenced by the violent giallo movies and adults-only comics of the era, resulting in a graphic approach to the genre. Stories often featured over-the-top violence and nudity and pushed the limits of what could be shown on the screen. The decade marked the return of specialist directors like Mario Bava, Riccardo Freda and Antonio Margheriti, and the emergence of new talents such as Pupi Avati (The House with the Laughing Windows) and Francesco Barilli (The Perfume of the Lady in Black). The author examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, providing previously unpublished details and production data taken from official papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors. Entries include complete cast and crew lists, plot summaries, production history and analysis. An appendix covers Italian made-for-TV films and mini-series.

Alex y Mauricio cursan cuarto medio en un colegio privado de Santiago. Cuando niños eran amigos, pero hoy ni siquiera se saludan. Corre el año 1990. Mauricio es el capitán de un equipo de rugby y se esfuerza por emular a su violento hermano mayor. Alex prefiere refugiarse en la literatura neogótica antes que lidiar con sus insulsos compañeros. Ambos se sienten fuertemente atraídos por Claudia. Ella, la nueva compañera de curso, recién llegada de Europa, terminará por convencerlos de cometer un crimen: el asesinato de su padre, un acaudalado hombre de negocios que supuestamente abusa de Claudia. Veinte años después, Mauricio busca a Alex para aliviar la conciencia. ¿Actuaron en defensa de una víctima? Entonces Alex lo golpea con la teoría que ha estado rumiando: que en realidad el padre de Claudia no era un abusador. Esta acción catalizará un nuevo crimen. Es así como amor y literatura, iniciación y pasiones, humor y culpa, se van encadenando en esta lúcida narración de suspenso ambientada en la época reciente de nuestra historia común.

Comprehensive examination of how Indigenous peoples have been represented in Argentine film. Affectual Erasure examines how Argentine cinema has represented Indigenous peoples throughout a period spanning roughly a century. Cynthia Margarita Tompkins interrelates her discussion of films with the ethnographic context of the Indigenous peoples represented and an analysis of the affective dimensions at play. These emotions underscore the inherent violence of generic conventions, as well as the continued political violence preventing Indigenous peoples from access to their ancestral lands and cultural mores. Tompkins explores a broad range of movies beginning in the silent period and includes bo...
En un barrio de arrabal existe un negocio que abre sus puertas a los solitarios, a los sedientos de alcohol y piel. Ahí los hombres beben ansiando olvidar por un momento lo que son, y lloran en silencio por lo que nunca serán. Dentro, las luces mortecinas apenas dejan ver a la figura que sube al escenario, a la mujer que gusta de bailar mostrando su desnudez y ocultando su tristeza y soledad. Pero a veces algo sale mal: uno de los asistentes desea tener más de lo que puede pagar, y los golpes inician; la sangre brota con su luz escarlata mientras que los ojos de ella observan, y sus labios de carmín sonríen. La noche apenas comienza.
