For 35 years, Olaf Ittenbach has been one of Germany’s most resourceful filmmakers and a pioneer in shot-on-video horror and splatter. He used funds from his work as a dental technician for his debut feature, the Spectacle classic BLACK PAST.
Ittenbach has always had an eye/ear for relentless, shrieking pain. He takes clear influence from canon classics like THE EVIL DEAD, HELLRAISER, and DEAD ALIVE while adapting entirely new ways of seeing through the most primitive of camera tech, juxtaposed with detailed phantasmaGORical violence. His morbidly meticulous gore effects are made with clear passion—and as a direct response to the German government’s historically draconian views on violent movies. The man has even lent his SFX talents to fellow German directors like Timo Rose and cinema bad boy Uwe Boll.
This Spectober, Spectacle is proud to showcase three utterly depraved and infernal works from one of underground horror’s most prolific voices: THE BURNING MOON, PREMUTOS: THE FALLEN ANGEL, and NO REASON.
