It's a documentary without much documentation

The first half (only 6 minutes) is mostly how they made the 1980 film Macabre from creating the script to the lead actress's role in making the movie. I haven't seen the movie and don't care to after seeing this so I will call it slightly interesting.

The second half is about Italian exploitation cinema in general. Most is about the film Cannibal Holocaust and making exploitation movies in Italy with Director Ruggero Deodato. This required subtitles (which doesn't match what he is saying) to translate Mr. Deodato's broken english.

We also see every so often Director Joe Dante talk about Italian exploitation.

This video is only 11 minutes, 22 seconds with the credits. Still, I learned almost nothing about Italian exploitation cinema which was why I watched it.
