What's your favorite Lucio Fulci film?
I was on a Zombie kick for a while and recently watched Zombie 2 by Lucio Fulci, i really enjoyed it and was wondering what some of your favorite movies were by this director, i'd really like to check out some more of his work.... where to begin?
What's your favorite Fulci film? And if you can make a suggestion on other Italian directors to check out, please do? |
Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)

Leone, Argento, Risi, Corbucci, De Sica, Lamberto, Bava, Antonioni, Deodato, Lenzi, Margheriti, Pasolini, Massaccesi, Fellini, Valerii, Cavani, Soavi, Brass, Mattei, Visconti, Bertolucci, Freda, Ferrario....the list is endless. Italy is one of the great cinema capitals of the world. |
I LOVE Zombie II. It's one of my absolute favorite movies of all time and my hands-down favorite Fulci film.
I actually started a thread about it a while back (the digression of the thread amuses me so much that I am reposting): http://horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33180 We went from Zombie II to genetic shark hybrids. Fortunato and I are going to take over the world with our zombie sharks. Either that or get horribly disfigured. ... I have also seen Don't Torture a Duckling, House by the Cemetery, and Lizard in Women's Skin and I have to say none of them come close to the brilliance that I thought he showed in Zombie II. I thought that Duckling was boring (Fortunato, don't kill me!), House was good, but the zombie looked silly. Lizard in Women's Skin had some brilliant direction, though and I was riveted throughout the whole film. I think that Bub hit the nail on the head: Quote:

GATES OF HELL, for real...Check that one out
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081318/ As for others...I was gonna suggest Argento, Lenzi and Bava, but someone already beat me to it up there Watch Lenzi's 'Ghosthouse'...It's a creepy little thing |
I have quit a few favorite Fulci films. Without a doubt Zombi2 is my favorite along with The Beyond.
But some others that are truly great Fulci films are: -House of Clocks ( Fantastic, under rated Fulci flick ) -NewYork Ripper ( Another great Fulci film ) -Dont Torture a Duckling -City of the Living Dead ( Good gore, just I would put quit a few other films of his b4 it ) |

The New York Ripper and The House By The Cemetery are amazing films. There's a lot more of his work I need to check out but out of the stuff I own those two are my favorites. Zombie's an ok film but its really average compared his other work as his style doesn't creep thru as much.
Fulci "delivered much lesser than what he had potential for" whatever... :rolleyes: I'll take any of Fulci's "disasterpieces" over some the overly pretentious Argento flicks people think are so amazing. I fucking hate Deep Red and after the impressive opening Suspiria is a dull mess that's pretty to look at. But that's just me. |
