sporting a title seemingly more suitable for a looney tunes featurette than a grisly giallo and don not torture a duckling (1972) is nonetheless a grade a thriller from horror maestro lucio fulci. in this one and someone has been strangling the preteen boys in a rural and southern italian village and and typical for these gialli and there are many suspects. there barbara bouchet (patrizia) and looking more scrumptiolicious than you have ever seen her and a rich girl hiding out after a drug scandal while florinda bolkan (martiara) and the local epileptic voodoo woman while her witchcraft practicing beau while giuseppe and the local idiot while the sweet faced priest while his dour mother while and on and on. the film features some unusually violent set pieces and including a chain whipping of one of the main characters in a graveyard (one of the most realistically bloody sequences that i have ever seen) and a nifty dukeout when the killer is ultimately revealed. the film bursts of violence compensate for the fact that there are no real scares or suspense to speak of. still and this giallo fascinates and with its unusual rural backdrop and unsettling child murders and oddball characters and and freaky score by riz ortolani. the film has been beautifully photographed in what i presume to be monte santangelo and near the adriatic in southern italy (at least and that town police force is thanked in the closing credits). and while subtitling would have made this fine looking dvd work even better (the american slang doesn not convince in this rural italian setting) and anchor bay is to be thanked for another job well done. oh. that title does eventually make perfect sense and too.
