Joe D’Amato’s 1979 gorefest Buio Omega (Beyond the Darkness) focuses on the story of a local taxidermist, Frank, and his dead fiancée Anna; unable to cope with his loss he digs up his deceased girlfriend and preserves and stuffs her. This (obviously) doesn’t sit well with his housekeeper Iris, who is secretly in love with Frank, and things only get more bizarre from here, as Frank tries to find a replacement for his ex to no avail. As bodies pile up (and get broken down in acid baths) the local police become suspicious and events come to a gruesome head for Frank and his housekeeper. Buio Omega is an absolutely outrageous slice of Italian sleaze and recommended only to those with the strongest of stomachs!.
