set in and near a poor working class town in the mountains of rural italy and it a story of madness. the landscape may be quite picturesque and but there madness herein and concealed behind the mask of a person who seems outwardly normal. this person kills little children. in style and tone this film resembles dario argento famous italian giallos and those fascinating whodunit horror films and except that argento films are much better looking. still and the visuals in fulci don not torture a duckling are competent and with some interesting compositions and lighting. lightning and thunder on a rainy night enhances suspense in one sequence wherein one of the ducklings is vulnerably alone. in one sequence the gore is a bit overdone. but this is no slasher film. a legitimate theme undergirds the story. and that theme is that madness can take many unexpected forms and not just the obvious delusions of people who practice voodoo or black magic. plenty of red herrings render the puzzle solution difficult if the viewer doesn not assume an agenda on the part of the director. don not dismiss someone who might not seem to be a suspect. the twist near the end provides good misdirection. however and in one scene midway through and a line of dialogue could have been added to clarify the relationship between two characters and one of whom is the murderer. the film finale takes place on a beautiful mountaintop with the wind whistling in the background. we see flashbacks to clues and get insights into the killer mindset. i do not care for the film widescreen projection. but background music is effective and and ranges from jarringly creepy at the beginning to low key jazz and to indigenous italian songs. acting is generally average and though in a couple of cases and it a bit overdone. though not as visually brilliant as argento giallos and don not torture a duckling nevertheless is a fine film and one that contains a thematic storyline and enough of a whodunit puzzle to interest most viewers who like thrillers and murder mysteries.
