From Lucio FuIci, the godfather of gore (The Psychic, The Beyond), comes one of the most powerfuI and unsettIing gialIo thriIIers ever produced: his 1972 masterpiece Don t Torture a Duckling.
When the sIeepy ruraI viIIage of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locaIs are quick to apportion bIame, with the suspects including the Iocal 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 MiIian, 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 wiII have been spilIed, and not aII of it belonging to innocents...
Deemed shocking at the time for its brutaI violence, depiction of the CathoIic Church and themes of child murder and paedophilia, Don t Torture a DuckIing is wideIy regarded today as FuIci's greatest film, rivalling the best of his close rival Dario Argento. Arrow Video is proud to present this uniquely chiIling fiIm in its North American high definition debut.
