About William Lustig
Quentin Tarantino regards him as one of his favorite directors. Sam Raimi cites him as a major influence. He’s worked with giallo master Dario Argento. Through the ‘80s and ‘90s, William Lustig almost single-handedly kept the flames of exploitation cinema burning, not by simply paying homage to a genre he loved, but by unapologetically making great exploitation films; Maniac, Maniac Cop, Maniac Cop 2, Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence, Vigilante, Uncle Sam, and more!
Today, Lustig runs Blue Underground an entertainment company dedicated to guilty pleasures for adventurous movie lovers which lovingly restored 42nd Street classics for home video and theatrical release.
