Almost Human is a 1974 Italian poliziotteschi film directed by Umberto Lenzi. This film stars Tomas Milian, Henry Silva, Ray Lovelock and Anita Strindberg. <SEP> His most distinctive quality is his penchant for recreating the look and style of silent or early- sound- era films. Since completing his first film in 1985, Maddin has become one of Canada's most well- known and celebrated filmmakers. Maddin has directed twelve feature films and numerous short films, in addition to publishing three books and creating a host of installation art projects. A number of Maddin's recent films began as or developed from installation art projects, and his books also relate to his film work. Maddin has been the subject of much critical praise and academic attention, including two books of interviews with Maddin and two book- length academic studies of his work. Guy Maddin,( born February 28, 1956) is a Canadian screenwriter, director, author, cinematographer, and film editor of both features and short films, as well as an installation artist, from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Maddin was appointed to the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian honour, in 2012.

Lenzi's films of the 1960s followed popular trends of the era, which led to him directing several spy and erotic thriller films. He followed in suit in the 1970s making "giallo" films, crime films and making the first Italian cannibal film with "Man from the Deep River". Umberto Lenzi (6 August 1931 – 19 October 2017) was an Italian film director, screenwriter and novelist. He continued making films up until the 1990s and later worked as a novelist writing a series of murder mysteries. <SEP> Eugenio Alabiso( born 30 July 1937) is an Italian film editor.

The film was originally released straight to VHS. VHS copies of the film have become collector's items due to their difficulty to locate and extremely limited quantities, with one copy selling for$ 2000 on eBay. Turner has expressed interest in creating a sequel and began writing the film's script in 2013. " Tales from the QuadeaD Zone" was the only film produced by Erry Vision Film Co. Since its release" Tales From the Quadead Zone" has received several public screenings, one of which was a 2016 symposium at the Yale University Library, Terror on Tape.

Maddin had himself endured a recent period of male rivalry and noticed that he found himself" quite often forgetting the object of jealousy" and instead becoming" possessive of my rival." The film was originally titled" Gimli Saga" after the amateur history book produced locally by various Icelandic members of the community of Gimli( Maddin himself is Icelandic by ancestry). Maddin's aunt Lil had recently retired from hairdressing, and allowed Maddin to use her beauty salon( also Maddin's childhood home) as a makeshift film studio( Lil appears in the film briefly as a" bedside vigil- sitter in one quick shot[ taken] just a couple of days before she died" at the age of 85. After Maddin's mother sold the house/ studio, Maddin completed the remaining shots of the film at various locations, including his own home, over a period of eighteen months. Maddin received a grant from the Manitoba Arts Council for$ 20,000 and often cites that figure as the film's budget, although also estimates the actual budget between$ 14,000 and$ 30,000. Tales from the Gimli Hospital is a 1988 film directed by Guy Maddin.
