Lucio Fulci (Page 1 of 5)

I'm not a huge fan of his cause I consider Dario Argento the italian master of horror. But I did enjoy Fulci's Zombie(aka Zombi 2), The Beyond, and The New York Ripper.

I didn't like the Gates of Hell at all.

I forgot his film Don't Torture a Duckling wasn't too bad of a film.

I didn't care too much for House by the Cemetery. You can find The Beyond(aka Seven Doors of Death) on dvd at amazon.com.;)

I love Fulci. Well that is, I love his zombie flicks. Most of the other stuff he did was crap. He seems to be an acquired taste because alot of people think his films are stupid. That is probably because his stories seem to be train of thought and burn out of making sense halfway through. But thats ok, gore seems to carry the movies itself anyway and they are fun to watch.
I used to have a gates of hell avatar where bobs head gets drilled, but I traded it for my Salems Lot av.

I agree Severen, House by the Cemetary was very weak,  it made no sense but it had some good gore

as Italian gore directors go he was one of the best

ha yep, that really was lame! The movie wasn't horrible, but after the credits, I was just sitting there thinking, "wtf?"

Same with Gates of Hell. It's a great movie, don't get me wrong, it all made some form of sense until she screams at the last second and it all falls apart. What the hell?

I like the gore but something in there did'nt feel right to me that got me uninterested or something.

Four of the Apocalypse was the only movie i've seen hes done thats not a horror genre but a western. But it did'nt really feel like a western either though but the whole cast did some pretty good acting.

Yeah machete, I feel the same about Manhattan Baby.

you can get a copy online pretty easily you just need to know where to look I can give you a link if u want just pm me or something since I'm not allowed to post it

Here you go: Fulci's Cat in the Brain/Nightmare Concert

I've only seen a handful of Fulci films -- Zombie, Gates of Hell, The Beyond, New York Ripper, The Smuggler, Cat in the Brain and Wax Mask.  Not the best flicks ever made, but they at least deliver in the grue department and as mentioned by someone else above, Fulci establishes a creepy, haunting atmosphere in his films, including The Smuggler, which isn't even a horror flick but basically a Godfather rip-off.  Still, that flick and I'd say Zombie and Cat in the Brain are the best of the Fulci flicks I've seen thus far.

I t was very slow in developement and the scares were lame at best  consisting mainly of snakes popping in and out. Also, no gore, which would have helped it. I didn't even finish it I was so bored.
