IMDb profile

Absurd (also known as Rosso Sangue, Anthropophagus 2, Horrible, The Grim Reaper 2 and Zombie 6: Monster Hunter) is a 1981 Italian horror film, an unofficial sequel to The Anthropophagus Beast. It was directed by Joe D'Amato and written by George Eastman.

It was on the infamous Video Nasties list in the '70s-'80s.

Was released in 1980s as "Monster Hunter" by Wizard Video, with a rather innacurate synopsis on the back or the old-style "big box."^{[citation needed]}

To add to its questionable fame this movie inspired the name for German black metal act Absurd, whose members later switched their interest from gore movies to extreme right wing politics and commited murder in 1993.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Synopsis

The plot involves a near invincible man who's blood coagulates incredibly fast, but this gift has made him insanely homicidal. A priest pursues the killer and attempts to destroy him, but he is revived later in a local hospital. The madman escapes after brutally killing a nurse and goes on a killing spree.
