Fulci - Duck Face Killings

...] Fulci's film offers a powerful vision of a world where love has curdled away into poison and death." Perhaps only the director's most ardent apologists can confess to a guilty pleasure in the film. Musically Fulci unleash a barrage of captivatingly gruesome riffs, gory pummeling, murderous slams, low-pitched guttural vocal patterns, and eerie intros and interludes. The band's songwriting is consciously fixated on creating the most violent and sharpened music possible to convey the films extreme savagery, imagining a soundtrack for the most grisly and cynical slasher flick ever made. There's a lot of luscious meat on these bones, dripping with hooks and all the colors of Lucio Fulci's eccentric cinema of cruelty, while the psychotic killer hunts his victims with remorseless perversity and sick gratification, inexplicably quacking in a duck's voice throughout... Described by the British Board of Film Classification's Carol Tpolski as "simply the most damaging film I have ever seen in my whole life", The New York Ripper was banned in the UK upon it's 1982 release for the next twenty years. Fulci's brutal delivery and graphic depiction of their mentor's violent world shines like the glimmer of blood under the NYC street lights, shocking and wild. A testament to the controversial master in all it's decadent guts and degenerate glory.
