Review of Contraband (1980) by Gregory W — 28 Sep 2011

A fairly mundane Naples-set smuggling drama is given a Fulci make-over, with the consequent blood-splatter, face-melting gore that his viewers have rightfully come to expect. It's not quite OTT enough to take the genre into another realm, but it does give a certain tension to the action sequences, and even though most of "Contraband" is pretty forgettable, there are a few stand-out moments of sheer weirdness (in no small part thanks to the useless dubbing) that guarantee that this won't bore.
