New York Ripper

I guess in 1982, at the height of the slasher genre, Lucio Fulci must have seen a couple of American slasher movies and said "Oh, ok, sex and violence against women, I can do that. TO THE EXTREME!" I mean, I knew Fulci could do violence, but I really don't think I've seen any non-porns with sex this graphic. Anyway, the plot is a serial killer quacks like a duck and kills women. Sounds pretty straightforward, but don't worry - Fulci crazies it up enough by the end so nobody knows what's going on.

RATING: 52%

I guess even most hardcore Fulci fans have a hard time with this one. Truth be told, it sounds terrible, but I have a feeling I'll end up watching it some day.

I can't say this of most of the movies G's reviewing, but I watched all of this one with him. And you know what? Maybe it was all the sex, or the shots of the dirty old New York of my youth, but I liked this movie better than Star Wars. Sorry, Harrison Ford!
