Lots of folks ...Oh, you are not alone there, Andre. Lots of folks don't get bitten by the Fulci bug. There's just this thing about his movies. He's like a lot of other Italian horror directors that worked in nearly every conceivable genre as the trends changed, etc. But then he got into horror films and created this little universe of his own. <br /><br />And it's in this way that I think he and Argento are a lot alike. While you'd never mistake an Argento film with a Fulci film, they both achieved something very special around the same time. From around 1975 through 1984, Fulci actually had a distinct and unmistakable style. That style is like this inescapable miasma of death and horror (and eye violence). It's often swirling and in soft focus but damn, it's good shit. You probably just haven't found your gateway into his world (AKA your seventh door of death) yet. <br /><br />Anyway, I pride myself on being a Fulci kind of woman.Richard of DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009346741909948722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-38428119152404999152010-04-18T22:36:50.224-04:002010-04-18T22:36:50.224-04:00Unfortunately Richard I don't think I can agre...Unfortunately Richard I don't think I can agree. But only because I'm just not a Fulci kind of woman. His films may be great, but they just don't float my boat I guess!Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-51711188173336952462010-04-18T15:45:58.277-04:002010-04-18T15:45:58.277-04:00Fulci's Black Cat is freakin' great though...Fulci's Black Cat is freakin' great though.Richard of DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009346741909948722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-43426355274163767712010-04-15T21:56:02.990-04:002010-04-15T21:56:02.990-04:00The worst is when you order the right movie and ge...The worst is when you order the right movie and get the right sleeve in the mail, but the wrong disk. This happens to me with remakes every now and then, and sometimes I don't realize the mistake if I haven't seen either one before, unless of course there are really obvious present day moments like cell phones and such for a movie that is supposed to have been made in the 70s (this is how I realized the Black Christmas I was watching probably wasn't the right one).William Malmborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261043345510784469noreply@blogger.com
