| _______________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 3:23pm - NuclearWinter ""] My favorite from the "Gates of Hell" trilogy. Everyone seems to prefer "The Beyond" over this. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 4:15pm - eyehatehippies ""] One of my faves. I'm actually really bummed that I can't find my copy of it right, I must have loaned it to someone, and they never brought it back. The Beyond is also awesome, as is The House By The Cemetary. Fulci is just godly. Check out his "fantasy gore" flick, Conquest, if you ever get bored and need a good way to kill an hour and a half. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 4:20pm - goatcatalyst ""] The dead / zombies are also terribly fond of eyeball gouging. "The Beyond" is my Fulci favorite by lightyears, but "City..." totally rules. "House..." is cool, but doesn't quite do it for me the way those other two do. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 4:28pm - eyehatehippies ""] The pacing is a little whack in "House", but I like it. It's different for him. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 5:49pm - Headbanging Man ""] I used to prefer The Beyond, but these days, it's hard to pick which of the two is Fulci's masterpiece... They both follow a very twisted fantastique logic, but City is a bit darkly chaotic, while The Beyond represents a more methodical downward spiral. Either way, they're outstanding pieces of Euro-Horror, and both outstanding examples of a real dysphoric atmosphere, even before considering the legendary gore-work... That said, I've seen about 30 Fulci films, and he really was a fine director in many genres, even if his '79-'82 period was perhaps his pinnacle (in large part thanks to his collaborators at the time, as he really was no auteur). Don't Torture A Duckling is really outstanding, one of the finest Gialli ever made, no doubt... And he was quite adept at action too, even if he was never known for it... His Westerns are great, his cheapy barbarian adventure (Conquest, as mentioned by EHH) and post-apocalyptic death-sportage (The New Gladiators, aptly called by his daughter Antonella "The Italian Rollerball") are thoroughly entertaining in spite of major budgetary flaws, and the only thing wrong with his one entry in the Polizieschi genre, Contraband, is the horrendous English dub. Even The Eroticist is a good time, and I normally find Italian comedy to be fucking atrocious... Viva Fulci! |

| ______________________________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 5:57pm - GregD(Blessedoffal/Ichabod) ""] Woman in a Lizard's skin is awesome. But City Of The Living dead is still my favorite. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 6:28pm - nekronaut ""] Don't Torture a Duckling for the win.. Most excellent cinematic Eurotrash experience.. Thank you, Blue Underground. |
