Do those of you who hate this movie like Italian 70's/80's B movies?


There was a (great) era in cinema when, during the 60's, 70's and the 80's, the Italians (and some other countries like the Philippines) would make cheap action/SF/thriller/horror movies, hire one or two (at one time) famous American, UK or Aussie actors and actresses, dub the whole thing in English and play it all around the world, especially in US Grindhouse theaters (in the 70's) and arthouse theaters, and through VHS (in the 80's) and cable.
These movies were (very) B but they loved to delve into themes which were exploitative, speculative, taboo, spaghetti westerns, ripoffs or simply "out there" (for the latter check the Ialian-American movie The Visitor (1979)).
What they lacked in budget they made up in style, atmosphere, sometimes acting, and often original ideas.
This movie looks almost identical (in the way it was made) to movies of that era.

Is there anyone who likes the Italian 70's/80's cinema but sill hates this?
