George Eastman Double Feature Film Two: Baba Yaga (1973)

Image
An adaptation of Italian cartoonist Guido Crepax's erotic Valentina series, Corrado Farina's film  chronicles her experiences with the title witch. Effective cinematography and frames that resemble comics abound, yet the slow-paced narrative could use more action. Eastman plays Valentina's (Isabelle De Funes) considerate lover, Arno, who helps her fight Baba Yaga.

George Eastman Double Feature Film One: Absurd (1981)

A spiritual successor to Anthropophagus , Joe D'Amato's  Absurd borrows heavily from John Carpenter's  Halloween , adding gore in the inimitable Italian fashion. Eastman plays the hulking killer who was the victim of an experiment that gave him healing powers at the cost of his sanity.
