Italian horror have often been revered or considered revolting by audiences all over the world. Famed directors like Dario Argento have built rabid fanbases centered around the stylized way many directors from the European country color a canvas with blood.
Lucio Fulci — who was nicknamed the “Godfather of Gore” — was one of the most beloved directors of Italian horror films with his work on movies such as” “Zombi 2” and “City of the Living Dead.”
In 1982, Fulci released what would become one of his most controversial films — a movie set against the backdrop of New York City where a serial killer with a fetish for speaking like a duck is stalking and killing women in the most horrific ways possible.
The movie was so graphic that it was banned in the United Kingdom after being called “simple the most damaging film” of all time.
