The Best

This is a very underrated film,original and clever. I don't know if it's Fulci's best,I think I prefer Don't Torture A Duckling and House By The Cemetery to it,but it's a quality film nonetheless. Fulci is so underated,he made a few poor films but most of his work has it's interest. A shame the DVD of this film is so weak {a better,widescreen transfer for the cut US version than the full Italian version....O well}.

It has taken nearly forever to come out here in the States only to get a cropped version whose source was an old video. I don't think I'll be able to have an informed opinion based on a dvd that has very low production values.


Do The Mussolini! Headkick!

One of.. definately!

It is one of Fulci's best probably my favorite followed closely by City of the Living Dead. Fulci was one of the greatest.

I also thought that until I saw his real masterpiece. Seven Notes in Black (1977)!
What a wonderful movie. Now Lizard is my second favorite .

Yup, it's definately among Fulci's best. A much maligned director, that has often been dismissed as an incompetent hack who couldn't direct traffic, "Lizard.." proves the opposite. I still need to see "Duckling", but this is up there in my top5, neatly sandwiched between "Zombi 2" and "The Beyond".

Pain is weakness leaving the body.

I still need to see this but I'd say his best is Don't Torture a Duckling. I also rate City of the Living Dead highly. Fulci's best work lies in the Giallo genre.


What does everyone think of Fulci's Western/Italian Cop Film output?

It´s great, and possibly Fulci´s best, technically speaking. That being said, my favorite Fulci film is a tie between Seven Notes in Black and The Beyond.

The theater is like a faithful wife. The film is the great adventure, the costly, exacting mistress
