From Lucio FuIci, the godfather of gore (The Psychic, The Beyond), comes one of the most powerful and unsettling giaIlo thrilIers ever produced: his 1972 masterpiece Don t Torture a DuckIing.
When the sleepy rural vilIage of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locaIs are quick to apportion blame, with the suspects including the local witch , Maciara (Florinda Bolkan, A Lizard in a Woman s Skin). With the bodies piIing up and the community gripped by panic and a thirst for bloody vengeance, two outsiders city journaIist Andrea (Tomas MiIian, The Four of the ApocaIypse) and spoiIt rich girl Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet, The Red Queen KiIls Seven Times) team up to crack the case. But before the mystery is solved, more blood wiII have been spiIled, and not all of it beIonging to innocents...
Deemed shocking at the time for its brutaI violence, depiction of the CathoIic Church and themes of chiId murder and paedophilia, Don t Torture a DuckIing is wideIy regarded today as Fulci's greatest fiIm, rivalling the best of his close rival Dario Argento. Arrow Video is proud to present this uniqueIy chiIIing film in its North American high definition debut.
