The
Fully Uncut Version of this Legendary Sleaze Masterpiece
director: Pasquale
Festa Campanile
starring: Franco Nero · Corinne Clery · David Hess ·
John Loffredo · Carlo Puri
Based
on the novel "The Violence and The Fury" by Peter Kane,
here is a shining example of World Cult Cinema... a superb European
production team and an extraordinary cast working together to create
the ultimate in sleazy exploitation! The setting is somewhere in America's
west. A bickering married couple pick up a murderous hitchhiker who
threatens to kill them unless they take him to Mexico. In return, he
agrees to split money with them from a bank robbery. Nobody gets what
they expected as the road trip takes a vicious detour into sexual degradation,
rape and brutal savagery.
Superstar
Franco Nero - best known for his seminal role in DJANGO
- plays against character here. While his costar, Corinne Clery (forever
associated with her starring role in THE
STORY OF O) steals the show.
David
Hess made
his acting debut in Wes Craven's LAST
HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972). His performance - like that film -
was unforgettable. Before LAST HOUSE, he was active
in the music business, first as a singer songwriter (under the David
Hill pseudonym he wrote I GOT STUNG for Elvis Presley, among others)
and then as an A&R executive for Mercury Records where he also recorded
the rock opera NAKED CARMEN in 1969 with John Corigliano. After numerous
films - mostly lensed in Europe (like Al Bradley's MURDER
IN A BLUE LIGHT and Ruggero Deodato's CAMPING
DEL TERRORE ), Mr Hess died from a heart attack at age 75, October
2011.
