Bruno Mattei

Bruno Mattei (30 July 1931 – 21 May 2007) was an Italian film director, screenwriter and editor who gained a cult following for low-budget exploitation films in many genres, from women in prison (WIP) and nunsploitation to zombie and cannibal films; most of his films were meant to shock, and featured large helpings of sex and gore. He used pseudonyms, including Vincent Dawn (chosen as a nod to George Romero's Dawn of the Dead), Pierre LeBlanc, Gilbert Roussel and Michael Cardoso among others.
