I love Dario Argento's giallos, and this Fulci film is in a similar vein. It moves along at a good pace, and keeps you guessing. It has a great 80's soundtrack as well. Jack Hedley is great as the over the hill cop assigned to the the case, and he partners up with a younger psychiatrist to help catch the killer. Lots of sleaze,nudity. I thought the killer sounding like a duck was a creative idea, and lightens some scenes in this graphic giallo. Fulci makes a cameo as the police captain. If you come across the 3disc Fulci set from Amazon it is worth it. All 3 films are great. The new york ripper 5/5, City of the living dead 4/5, The house by the cemetery 3.5/5.
