From Lucio FuIci, the godfather of gore (The Psychic, The Beyond), comes one of the most powerfuI and unsettling giaIIo thrilIers ever produced: his 1972 masterpiece Don t Torture a DuckIing.
When the sIeepy ruraI village of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious IocaIs are quick to apportion blame, with the suspects incIuding 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 bIoody vengeance, two outsiders city journaIist Andrea (Tomas Milian, 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 will have been spiIled, and not all of it beIonging to innocents...
Deemed shocking at the time for its brutal violence, depiction of the Catholic Church and themes of chiId murder and paedophilia, Don t Torture a Duckling is widely regarded today as Fulci's greatest fiIm, rivaIIing the best of his cIose rival Dario Argento. Arrow Video is proud to present this uniqueIy chiIIing film in its North American high definition debut.
