Just finished a mini Fulci marathon (The Beyond, Zombi, House by the Cemetery). Terrible performances (even by low budget horror standards). Incoherant plotlines involving little-to-no logic. Long, drawn out extreme closeups of dodgy (to say the least) speacial effects. Etc, etc. How could anyone not love this guy?

I predict this thread will basically be a conversation between Mercury and myself.

You're a real conversationalist.

Zombi is probably my favorite of his. The shark scene is one for the ages.

And does anyone do a better eyeball gag than this guy? It's amazing to me how many folks still haven't seen of his films.

One of his that gets no attention, even from fans, is Don't Torture a Duckling. Very unique giallo with a storyline that is actually engaging, which is even more amazing conisidering it's coming from Fulci. The title obviously turns people right off, but I'd say it's in my top 3 Fulci movies.

I actually haven't seen this one, always heard of it though. Giallos are always good though, I'll have to Netflix it.

Maybe if we keep this up, we can summon LV.

Whoa, a third person! This might actually last more than a day on the front page.

I've said it in other threads. Zombi is in my top 10 of all time.

Zombie vs. Shark
Eyeball vs. Splinter
Maggots and millipedes sliding off the dead as they rise.

Easily best Zombie movie ever.

I love The Beyond aswell (or Seventh Seal or Seventh Gate to Hell or whatever the many international titles are). It's kampy Italian gore but it is still great.

to the above post

Fulci zombies are definitely the best. Most of the credit for their look should go to Gianetto De Rossi, though. Well, all of the credit, actually.
