first of all i have to say that i be a huge lucio fulci and dario argento fan . although i have not see absolutely all of their movie and i really enjoy almost every one i do see . i really like giallos and i think argento be the master of this genre and after see film like tenebre and phenomenon . but after i saw new york ripper by fulci and i find out that he could do pretty good giallos besides his graphic zombie movie and even outdo argento and on a certain level . i love fulci style and and yes i love gore and but this film i think and although it have a more developed plot and character than his other film and be not his best one . what i do not like be that it can be confuse at time and especially at the end . and the fact that we go from one suspect and to another and and then another until we even suspect the retarded little girl for a moment and i think it go too far . i know giallos be suppose to keep you guess until the end and and the killer should be very hard to find and but this film play a little too much with our mind . however i do like the scene when the witch be kill and i think it be very well do and give me the chill . the acting be also pretty good and the photography be great . although this be not a bad film and i think lucio fulci have make well film than this and and i think his best one be the beyond and a very different movie but a more atmospheric and visual experience . i give don not torture a duckling a positive .
