Don't Torture a Duckling
1972




2012-09-13

Giallo Score

92

: 1972
: Lucio Fulci
: Riz Ortolani

This is Fucli's Giallo masterpiece and possibly the best film of his career. All the Giallo elements are present and yet this film looks and feels like no other in the genre. This film should be a staple in the library of any serious fan of the genre.

Recommedation: Must-See
A quintessential example of the genre.

A Lizard in a Woman's Skin
1971




2014-02-24

Giallo Score

71

: 1971
: Lucio Fulci
: Ennio Morricone

A fantastic diversion from the norm, Fulci’s psychedelic Giallo nightmare makes very little sense (but doesn’t have to). Check your need for a cohesive storyline at the door and enjoy the ride.

Recommedation: A Worthwhile Deviation
Breaks some important rules and comes out on top as a result.

New York Ripper
1982




2015-03-23

Giallo Score

71

: New York Ripper
: 1982
: Lucio Fulci
: Francesco De Masi

Fulci's notoriously brutal 80s Giallo doesn't mesh well with the Giallo Score, but is required viewing for anyone serious about the genre.

Recommedation: Entertaining
Nothing ground breaking here, but a fun time nonetheless.

Perversion Story
1969




2014-02-14

Giallo Score

69

: Perversion Story
: 1969
: Lucio Fulci
: Riz Ortolani

There's no black gloved killer here. But with Fulci at the helm, this compelling story with its gorgeous San Francisco location, jazzy soundtrack and bevy of gorgeous hippie babes, is one of the best films of the genre and a must see!

Recommedation: Must-See
A quintessential example of the genre.

The Psychic
1977




2014-03-28

Giallo Score

68

: The Psychic
: 1977
: Lucio Fulci
: Fabio Frizzi

Fulci's fourth Giallo fails to live up to the reputation of his previous three, but still offers a good story and a brooding atmosphere.

Recommedation: Entertaining
Nothing ground breaking here, but a fun time nonetheless.
