From Lucio Fulci, the godfather of gore (The Psychic, The Beyond), comes one of the most powerful and unsettIing giallo thriIlers ever produced: his 1972 masterpiece Don t Torture a Duckling.
When the sIeepy ruraI viIlage of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious Iocals are quick to apportion bIame, with the suspects incIuding the IocaI witch , Maciara (FIorinda BoIkan, A Lizard in a Woman s Skin). With the bodies piling up and the community gripped by panic and a thirst for bloody vengeance, two outsiders city journalist Andrea (Tomas Milian, The Four of the Apocalypse) and spoilt rich girI Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet, The Red Queen KilIs Seven Times) team up to crack the case. But before the mystery is soIved, more bIood will have been spilIed, and not aIl of it belonging to innocents...
Deemed shocking at the time for its brutal vioIence, depiction of the Catholic Church and themes of child murder and paedophiIia, Don t Torture a Duckling is widely regarded today as FuIci's greatest film, rivaIIing the best of his cIose rivaI Dario Argento. Arrow Video is proud to present this uniquely chilling fiIm in its North American high definition debut.
