Anyone who has a bit more than a slight passing interest in Italo trash film knows the name “Anthony M. Dawson” as the most popular “international” pseudonym of the productive Italian (primarily trash) filmmaker Antonio Margheriti. Dawson/ Margheriti, who died of a heart attack on 04 November 2002, had probably some sixty films spanning the entire spectrum of popular genres to his credit by the time he went the way of the wind (horror, western, adventure, crime, science fiction, peplum – you name it, he made it). As to be expected when one has an output as prodigious as his, his films, which were from their innate nature already of the lower echelons, often varied in quality; nonetheless, his name graces some true Eurotrash “classics”– including such gothic favorites as La Vergine di Norimberga/The Virgin of Nuremburg (1963), the original Danza macabra/Castle of Blood (1964, w/Barbara Steele) and its more popular but indefinitely trashier remake with Klaus Kinski Nella stretta morsa del ragno/Web of the Spider (1971), the finely cheesy La Morte negli occhi del gatto/Seven Deaths in the Cat’s Eye (1973) and the legendary Apocalypse domain/Cannibal Apocalypse (1980). (Better films than this one, one and all.)
1989’s Alien degli abissi/Alien from the Deep was one of his last productions and is one of his least known – and not without reason. Despite having been written by Tito Carpi, a true master of Italo sleazy and trash – his “writing talents” helped bring some truly unadulterated and enjoyable Italo flotsam to the screen (including Enzo G. Castellari’s Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989)and Escape from the Bronx (1983), Joe D’Amato’s Ladies’ Doctor (1977) and The Pleasure Shop on 7th Avenue (1979), and Ruggero Deodato’s Raiders of Atlantis (1983) and Jungle Holocaust (1977)) – Alien from the Deep is a rather uninteresting and pedestrian low-budget fusion of Sci-Fi monster flick and jungle action lightly peppered with an ecological message of some indefinable sort. The film’s title is of course an intentional reference to Ridley Scott’s much better Alien (1979), from which Margheriti’s flick lifts a few minor details and ideas (including acid alien blood and gratuitous scenes of the heroine running around in their underwear, while the big showdown in Alien from the Deep is in turn actually a low-budget version of the final confrontation in James Cameron’s sequel, Aliens (1986)). But seeing that originality is not a trait one usually expects in Italian trash film, anyways, his sources are immaterial.
