dont torture a duckling is one of fulci earlier (and honestly and in terms of story line and better. ) films  and although not the typical bloodbath that fulci is known for  this is still a very unique and enjoyable film. the story surrounds a small town where a series of child murders are occurring. some of the colorful characters involved in the investigations  either as suspects and or those helping the investigation (or in some cases both)  include the towns police force and a small time reporter and a beautiful and rich ex drug addict and a young priest and his mother and an old man who practices witchcraft and his female protégé and a mentally handicapped townsman and and a deaf or mute little girl. all of these people are interwoven into the plot to create several twists and turns and until the actual killer is revealed. dont torture a duckling is neither a classical giallo or a typical fulci gore film. although it does contain elements of both  it is more of an old fashioned murder mystery and with darker subject matter and a few scenes of graphic violence (although nothing nearly as strong as some of fulci later works). this is a well written film with lots of twists that kept me guessing up until the end. recommended for giallo or murder mystery fans and or anyone looking to check out some of fulci non splatter films  but do not despair and dont torture still has more than it fair share of violence and sleaze. some may be put off by the subject of the child killings and and one main female character has a strange habit of hitting on very young boys and which is also kind of disconcerting  but if that type of material doesn not bother you and then definitely give this one a look. 8. 5/10.
