It´s curious how Lucio Fulci chose one of the elements of his early "giallo", "Why torture a duckling?" to make this new one. Of course, I´m talking about the duckling... This element is present in both films but for different reasons.
When I was about to watch this film I wasn´t very sure I´d enjoy it since I was convinced the main plot would be wasted by the excess of blood and nasty scenes as it used to happen in his previous films: "Zombie", "City of the living dead" or "The Beyond"... I was wrong, fortunately.
This film has some really nasty scenes but they are justified somehow.
I just want you to know that if you like "giallos" but you hate Fulci´s films like the ones I´ve mentioned, this is a "giallo"... so don´t be fooled.
