the name lucio fulci congers up images of graphic death and mutilation in the minds of may fans. thanks to movies like zombi 2 and city of the living dead and the beyond and the new york ripper and fulci has a reputation for being one of the goriest directors in history. and although many of his later movies certainly justify his reputation until the release of zombi 2 in 1979 fulci films did not contain anywhere near the amount of blood and guts he know for and in fact they were for the most part gore free and instead relying on more traditional shocks and disturbing imagery to work. don not torture a duckling hardly contains any gore and yet ranks as his best. don not torture a duckling is set in a small sicilian town where superstition rules instead of logic. the townsfolk are very distrustful of outsiders as well as anyone different and often shunning them. after a series of child murders though many people descend upon the town and including andrea martelli (thomas milan) who tries to uncover the truth about the murders while they continue to happen. this is a remarkable film. it very well made with an excellent cast filled with many favorites of italian exploitation cinema. it also contains a solid score as well as many creative camera movement courtesy or lucio fulci. but the real draw of don not torture a duckling is the disturbing nature of the movie. little kids and around twelve years old are shown mocking retarded people and visiting prostitutes and being propositioned sex by an older woman. it also contains some very biting commentary on the middle class and the catholic church. it is for reasons like this that don not torture a duckling was blacklisted throughout europe when it was first released and never was shown in the united states. still and don not torture a duckling stands as a monumental achievement in giallo cinema as well as lucio fulci best work. i really can not recommend this one enough and check it out.
