Synopsis:
There's a cwazy man loose in New York City *Neew Yorrk Citah?!* stalking and killing various * and really hot* women. It's up to seasoned vet Lt. Williams and college psychoanalyst Dr. Lodge to catch the hater.
Mr. Fulci takes more of a "giallo" approach to this whodididit/slasher, so if you're looking for your typical zombie fare, keep looking. However, if it's any consolation, there's a wicked bazooka shot and the killer talks like a duck. Did I mention the really hot women?

Yeeeeah bwoye! So apparently Mr. Fulci took a lot of heat for this one due to the "mistreatment of women with graphic depcitions of nyaah nyaah." You wanna whine? Ask the women who played in the film. Nobody twisted their arm to be in the movie. Hell, all of that violence was probably endorsed. I know if I were in a movie, I would wanna be all jacked up in my death scene. So shut the f*ck up!
Anyway go out and get this movie. It's actually damn good. Again, if you're looking for anything living and dead at the same time, nope. Not here, buddy. Though what you do get is a really well crafted "giallo" type slasher. Fulci manages to craft in some pretty slick curveballs as well. I know that the average individual can usually guess it before the end, however, in this case you may not. I know I misguessed at least twice. The ending is clever and resembles a "lesser known" film *ha!* out now. So no worries, it will all tie in.
Though, if it's all really that much of a problem , the man does reward loyal viewers with a bit o' the ultra-violence along with some hot womens. This is one of the good ones, peoples.

Lt. Williams - "11 people a day die in this city and over half of them are women, goodbye!"
Random guy - "You women should all stay at home where you belong. You're a menace to the public, and you've got the brains of a chicken."
Woman - "I don't know what they see in that guy."
Lt. Williams - "Trouble is they only get to see him once."
Peter - "In this country, if you're not good at something, at anything, if you're not the best, the smartest, or the toughest, that's it. You're screwed. You aren't going anywhere."
Peter - "Sometimes I wonder how a girl like you with an IQ of 182 can be such a dummy."
Lt. Williams - "Oh c'mon. We know he's our guy. The rest is malarky shit just for experts like you, not me okay?"
Didn't you read who directed this gem? Fulci fans, this is a must have. Everyone else, this is a must have.
