Ruggero Deodato
Ruggero Deodato (born May 7 1939 in Potenza) is an Italian film director, actor and screen writer, best known for directing horror films, the most well known of which being Cannibal Holocaust. Deodato caused massive controversy in Italy and the United Kingdom following the release of Cannibal Holocaust, which was wrongly claimed by some to be a genuine snuff film. Deodato was forced to reveal the secrets behind the film's special effects and to parade the lead actors before an Italian court in order to prove that they were still alive. Deodato's La casa sperduta nel parco was the most censored of the video nasties in the United Kingdom.
