NEW YORK RIPPER
THE SICKEST MOVIE EVER MADE! KING OF THE NASTIES!
Do you like your horror films nice n nasty? Then brace yourself for this notorious
1982 gem of depravity that is every bit as vile and stylishly shocking as you ve been
led to believe. Directed by the old scalp-ripper himself, Lucio Fulci, he s in full flesh
tearing form as the cops of New York hunt down a psychopath with a penchant for
slicing his victims to the bone but not before he has his fun with them first... Quack!
Quack! Quack! If you ve recently revisited old video nasties only to be disappointed
then this is the ultimate sex n slash fest to test your nerve with a realistic sadistic
streak that will have you begging for mercy! One of the most notorious films on the
UK's Director of Public Prosecution s so called Video Nasties list; so subversive was
it, that on its 1st foray into UK, the print of RIPPER, due for bbfc classification, was
legendarily escorted back to the border without ever being screened..
"One of the most controversial horror films ever made" horrordvd.com ...a psychotic
erotic masterpiece Alan Jones MANHATTAN BABY PULL UP YOUR
EYEBALLS AND DIE!
From Lucio Fulci, the director of New York Ripper, comes his utterly bizarre
descent into a surreal world of possessed kids, Egyptologist, eyeball-piercing birds,
walls that bleed, and much more! A succinct plot synopsis is frankly near impossible
but here goes: There s a possessed Egyptian amulet, what looks like a gate to hell
and rip-off moments from a variety of classic genre films including The Exorcist,
The Awakening, The Birds, The Omen and most notably Rosemary s Baby. Despite
the dubious plotting Fulci was at the height of his powers when he made this highly
atmospheric and stunningly shot horror film that makes up in classic set pieces and
pierced eyeballs what it lacks in coherence!
Extraordinary scenes boasting the unmistakable Fulci magic Stephen Thrower

gem that compares to the best of Hammer and Amicus films. This black cat is a malevolent moggy that stalks through a sleepy English
village appearing to fulfill the murderous wishes of its owner, the sinister psychic Prof. Miles (Patrick Magee in fine deranged form).
The dearly missed David Warbeck is the Scotland Yard D.I. sent to investigate... High on gothic atmospheric thanks to the moody
cinematography of Sergio Salvati, this unusual Fulci tale of claustrophobic terror is a little seen gem that compares to the best output of
