Reader Reviews
The New York Ripper was a great Italian horror film from Lucio Fulci, the film was filled with plenty of gruesome death scenes and lots of sleaze, sex and nudity in fact its probably one of the sleaziest Italian horror flicks I've ever seen. The film was also out of stock for a while so I was glad when I heard about the good news, it was finally being re-released by Blue Underground they've been doing a great job lately, the picture quality was great with no grains and it's completely uncut with a widescreen 2.35:1 aspect ratio looking and sounding better than ever. The New York Ripper was also notorious for being banned in the U.K. and it was included in the video nasties list, this is easily one of Lucio Fulci's darkest and goriest films out there (O.K. maybe not THE goriest, I still think that Cat In The Brain holds that title), there is one scene that was quite sick and perverse thats guaranteed to make you squirm, yes I'm talking about the "Golden Toes" scene WTF!!!. When an old man finds a prostitute's severed hand under the Brooklyn Bridge the police decide to do a little investigating. It seems that the victim was heard speaking to a strange duck-voiced man. As the murders add up the police detective who's investigating the case recruits a psychology professor to help find out who this Donald Duck voiced maniac could be, theres also a subplot involving a woman (Alessandra Delli Colli from Dr. Butcher M.D.) who enjoys being perverse and records her exploits on a tape recorder for her husband, there was also a bit of suspense which was nicely done by Fulci I was actually surprised by this, I was expecting a lot of badly edited and shot sequences but there weren't that many in this film. This is a typical Fulci flick which means that the plot gets thinner during the course of the film and the bad acting which was adequate especially for this type of film could have been better but thats not important, if your a hardcore Fulci or exploitation fan then you'll obviously love this as the death scenes were quite brutal and very nasty it includes nipple slicing, a face being carved up and mutilated, a young woman being stabbed with a large knife in her vagina and ripped open etc. this is definetely NOT a date movie unless your date was a psychotic maniac ;-), this is obviously not going to appeal to those who are easily offended or those who have a weak stomach so you have been warned. The New York Ripper was done in the early 80's and it was made during the period when Lucio Fulci was still making good movies as he previously made his classic zombie films The Beyondand City of the Living Dead, the film was nicely shot using different locations in N.Y. and some seedier places like the xxx theaters and sleazy motels. I have to admit that I really liked this film alot and it was one of Fulci's best, while not a classic like Zombi 2 (25th Anniversary Special Edition 2-Disc Set) it was still great and enjoyable. Hats of to Blue Underground for releasing a classic sleazy Lucio Fulci film and making it available, I highly recommend this and two thumbs up QUACK!!! ;-).
