Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Italian film director Joe D'Amato's films aren't for eveyone. When it comes to blending horror, gore and hardcore erotica, D'Amato's infamous films couldn't be more sensational, shocking, or sleazy. D'Amato (a.k.a. Aristide Massaccesi) was prolific in the genre and worked under many pseudonyms.

One of the first films that Massaccesi directed using the pseudonym Joe D'Amato was Emanuelle e Francoise le Sorelline/Emanuelle's Revenge (1975), a sexploitation film which led to an entire series of now-classic Emanuelle films (Black Emanuelle; Emanuelle in Bangkok; Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals). Cult Favorite Emanuelle in America (1977) tells the story of a sexy young New York City investigative photojournalist (Laura Gemser), who travels the world to research a story on sexual depravity in different cultures. She overcomes obstacles by getting naked and then engaging her powers of seduction. Her investigation into sexual depravity and sleaze ultimately leads her to Washington D.C., where she meets a senator (Roger Browne) involved in an international snuff film conspiracy, which kidnaps women and then subjects them to unspeakable acts of human brutality (all of which are depicted in the film). After the senator drugs Emanuelle with LSD in the hope that she would forget all that she had seen in our nation's capital, she quits her job to join her on-and-off boyfriend Bill (Riccardo Salvino) on a primitive jungle island (which only proves to be a movie set). Emanuelle in America contains fake snuff film footage (made to look authentic) along with an infamous scene of a naked girl masterbating a horse named Pedro. This is not a film for the entire family. It contains scenes of gore, hard-core sex, lesbian sexuality, zoophilia and bestiality, grindhouse, extreme and graphic violence, torture, sadism, and snuff, along with other assorted disturbing sleaze. Overall, this is not a good movie, but when it comes to the 1970's sexploitation genre, it is a must-see, gorehound classic.
