Another Fulci misfire
11 May 2004
Lucio Fulci has got to be the most overrated horror director in the italian horror genre. Comparing this man to the likes of Dario Argento or Mario Bava is awfully favourable to Fulci and in my opinon; he doesn't deserve it. His films are over the top gory, and that part is executed with semi-style, but lack of any suspense or athmosphere (or visual style) make it hard to consider his films to be of any real value.

This one has no story. A madman is killing women in New York and nobody has a clue why. Oh' and by the way, he makes sounds like a duck when he slays his victims.

Everything here is done in an amateurish way. The cinematography is shaky, the look of the film is cheap, the acting is horrible (perhaps some fault can be put on terrible dubbing), there's no script and the violence is repellent, even for a semi-gorehound like myself. Argento at least executes his vicious killings with a lot of visual style.

And...the music score isn't good. If only Goblin scored his films...
