Absurd is a 1981 English-language Italian slasher film directed, lensed, and co-produced by Joe D'Amato and starring George Eastman, who also wrote the story and screenplay.

Production

George Eastman, the film's protagonist and writer, recalls that director and producer Joe D'Amato wanted it to be a proper sequel to Antropophagus (1980), whereas Eastman himself opposed it. D'Amato then asked him only to act in it, but when Eastman read the treatment someone had written, he found it so bad that he decided to write one himself for D'Amato.

The shooting took place in May 1981 in a relatively short period of time. Eastman remembers that the whole film was shot at nighttime. The two child actors, Katia and Kasimir Berger, were the children of William Berger.

Michele Soavi, who played a biker in the film, went on to become a successful Italian horror film director in his own right. D'Amato later produced Soavi's first directorial effort, Stage Fright, which he said was "...out of all the films I produced, my favorite, and Soavi is the most talented out of all the young directors I've launched....I think very highly of him."

Absurd was the first film D'Amato directed, spoken in English, as it was conceived almost exclusively for the foreign market.

At one point during the shoot, according to D'Amato's personal documents, the film's working title was La porta dell'oltretomba (literally: "The Door of the Beyond").
