Two DeBaser reviews focus on Libero De Rienzo's film Sangue - La morte non esiste (2005). Critics note strong sound design and ambitions but found the film confused and lacking depth. One review emphasises provocative themes and a grotesque/comic epilogue; the other is a moody, acerbic monologue linked to the film's tone.
