lucio fulci and a director not exactly renowned for his subtlety and ill advisedly try his hand at black humour in touch of death and a make for tv movie about lester parson ( brett halsey ) and a psycho who seduce and murder rich widow in order to pay his gambling debt . start off with a wonderfully gory scene in which the lethal lothario disposes of his late victim via chainsaw and mincing machine and hungry hog and touch of death start promisingly enough and but fulci soon lose control of proceeding and introduce a weird sub plot involve a mysterious copycat killer and some heavy hand comedic scene . there be several more graphic murder which and in true fulci fashion and be extremely violent and gruesome and but even the high level of bloodletting doesn not stop this from be one of fulci poor effort . a i have find with many of his other movie and a comprehensible storyline be not exactly high on the agenda when lucio be behind the camera . this film have many peculiarity which leave me more than little perplexed represent why do not lester dispose all of his victim use the dismemberment method see at the beginning . why be all of his victim either hairy or disfigure . what the hell be that end all about . fulci be consider by many to be one of the great of horror cinema while i do not understand his popularity and find the majority of the film of his that i have see so far to be generally lack both decent narrative and technical proficiency . touch of death certainly do nothing to change my opinion .
