This movie qualifies for a certain category. That being"Cheesy, 80's Horror." A tired and worn out cop, must investigate the murders of several women brutally cut up with a knife by a killer who kills his victims talking in a duck-like voice. No joke. He even taunts Police by calling them and talking in the same "duck" voice. Believe it or not, this quirk by the killer is explained in the end. Kind of amusing actually. As someone who is oddly obsessed with just about all movies taking place in the 70's or early 80's in Manhattan, i automatically was interested in this. All the 80's cheese is firmly in place. The cheese ball dialog, "You got a brain of a chicken!", the sub-par acting, etc. Lots of nudity and blood fill the screen which is the main attraction for this kind of film anyway. Directed by Lucio Fulci, this is known as one of his most brutal horror films in a resume of many. An okay movie for what it is. If you like movies as I've just described, check it out!
