10 Things That Make Italian Horror And Exploitation Cinema So Good

10. Animal Innards

Cinema Innards Yes it may sound a bit silly, but animal innards are central to the Italian horror movie experience. They provoke most of the most memorable scenes in Italian horror. Such as the zombies sitting down feasting on a woman's body (the one who had a spike through the eye) in Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eaters. I spy lots of pig bladders! Another notable animal innards scene comes in Fulci's City of the Living Dead where a poor woman literally pukes her guts up!
