The Profile

Pupi Avati is an Italian film director and screenwriter known for moving between genre cinema (notably atmospheric horror) and character-driven dramas and comedies. Several reviews highlight his cult reputation for Po Valley–set gothic horror and his long, prolific career.

Publicly known as Pupi Avati (Giuseppe Avati), born 1938 in Bologna, Italy; an Italian director/screenwriter active since the late 1960s, with films spanning horror, drama and comedy.

Across these reviews, Avati is praised most for his Po Valley–set horror: unsettling atmospheres, suggested terror, and cult status around “La casa…” and “Zeder.” “Regalo di Natale” is highlighted for its tight, actor-driven tension and visual control. Later works like “Il signor diavolo” get a respectful-but-qualified response, while some dramas/comedies are slammed as boring or negligible. Overall: a prolific Italian director whose best genre films are seen as uniquely disturbing and influential.
