Sergio
Bergonzelli made 28 movies between 1960-1990. He began his career -
like so many other cult directors - with Spaghetti Westerns but by the
end of the sixties he had diverted to more controversial counter-culture
films (i.e.,CRISTIANA
SCANDALOUS COED (1972) and OUR
LADY OF LUST). He is best known for the bizarre Giallo IN
THE FOLDS OF THE FLESH and the horror movie BLOOD
DELIRIUM. Mr Bergonzelli retired from the movie business when
his health began to fail in the early '90s. He died from a heart attack
in September 2002. Sergio was 78.
