From Lucio Fulci, the godfather of gore (City of the Living Dead, The House by the Cemetery), comes one of the most powerful and unsettling giallo thrillers ever produced: his 1972 masterpiece, Don't Torture a Duckling.<br/><br/>When the sleepy rural village of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locals are quick to apportion blame, with the suspects including the local "witch", Maciara (Florinda Bolkan, 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 girl Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet, The Red Queen Kills Seven Times) - team up to crack the case. But before the mystery is solved, more blood will have been spilled, and not all of it belonging to innocents...<br/><br/>Deemed shocking at the time for its brutal violence, depiction of the Catholic Church and themes of child murder and implied pedophilia, Don't Torture a Duckling is widely regarded today as Fulci's greatest film, rivalling the best of his close rival Dario Argento.

I'm not a fag or anything. I've always said: if I had to fuck a guy, I mean had to, if my life depended on it, I'd fuck Elvis! Bara en Tarantinofilm kan inledas med en sån här replik. Och som alla vet så är ju det här den lugna biten av denna fantastiska film. Detta är en underhållande och mycket våldsam film som nog ingen har missat helt.

I den idylliska staden Brixton, i hjärtat av Georgia, försörjer sig den unga änkan Annie Wilson som traktens spåkvinna. Hennes synska gåva gör att hon med hjälp av tarotkort får föraningar om framtiden. När fästmön till skolans rektor plötsligt försvinner, befarar den lokala polisen att ett brott har begåtts. Efter fruktlösa försök att finna flickan, kontaktar polisen motvilligt till slut Annie. Hon får snart fasansfulla syner där hon ser den döda flickans kropp. Men ju mer Annie dras in i mordutredningen, desto hotfullare och mer skräckinjagande blir hennes syner. Och det visar sig vara fler i den lilla staden som bär på mörka hemligheter...
