Stars: George Eastman, Annie Belle, Charles Borromel, Katya Berger, Kasimir Berger, Hanja Kochansky, Ian Danby, Ted Rusoff, Edmund Purdom | Written by George Eastman | Directed by Joe D’Amato
Absurd (1981), also known as Horrible and Rosso Sangue, is an Italian horror film directed by Joe D’Amato. The film serves as a loose follow-up to D’Amato’s earlier work, Anthropophagus. It features George Eastman reprising a similar role, this time as a near-immortal killer who regenerates from his injuries, leaving a trail of brutal murders in his wake, building on the themes and shock value established in Anthropophagus, pushing the boundaries of gore and violence even further. Absurd opens with the brutal pursuit and impalement of Eastman’s character, setting the tone for a relentless parade of bloodshed. The plot revolves around this indestructible killer terrorizing a suburban family, turning their home into a battleground of survival.

Absurd” (1981)
Directed By: Joe D'Amato (As Peter Newman)
Written By: George Eastman
Starring: George Eastman (Mikos), Annie Belle (Emily), Charles Borromel (Sergeant Engleman), Katya Berger (Katia Bennett), Kasimir (Willy Bennett), Hanja Kochansky (Carol), Ian Danby (Ian Bennett), Ted Rusoff (Dr. Kramer), Edmund Purdom (Father), Cindy Leadbetter (Peggy), Lucia Ramirez (Angela), Michele Soavi (Biker), Martin Sorrentino (Deputy), Goffredo Unger (Machine Shop Owner)
“Absurd” is definitely absurd. This movie is truly grotesque at times. Joe D’Amato’s movies do not shy away from extremely gory moments. This Italian film is listed among the 39 prosecuted films listed on the British “video nasty” list that were banned entirely for graphic content. This film is under various names. In America, Wizard Video released a VHS big box with a new label called “Monster Hunter.” In some countries it was tacked on to the “Zombi” label as “Zombi 6: Monster Hunter.
