The New York Ripper
Directed by Lucio Fulci
A killer who talks like Donald Duck targets sexually active New York women, brutalizing them in increasingly twisted ways. Now It’s up to Lieutenant Williams, who knows plenty about vice, to catch the deadly Disney enthusiast. Of course, this being a Lucio Fulci film, every step closer results in dismemberment, disemboweling and death. Set in the heydey of sleazy 1980s Times Square, which was rife with adult shops, theaters, and clubs, Fulci’s sickening slasher inspired an orgy of outrage and censorship. But, um, you’re over 18, right?

The sleaziest and nastiest film from the Italian master is filled with graphic sexual violence through a bleak atmosphere making it one of his absolute best!
I think this is one of Fulci's best films. I like it more than "House by The Cemetery" and think it's better than anything he did after. And seeing New York in the early 80's before it was disney-fied is always cool.
Would give a 0/5 if i could. This movie is awful and tries to get a pass as a movie by showing naked women every 25 minutes. Doesn't work. Do yourself a favor and skip this horrible excuse of a movie.
This might be, by far, one of the most unintentionally funny horror movies of all time. That with the suspense of some scenes threw me, and really kept me immersed into this very silly 80's who-dun-it.
"Sleazy" is right! Trashy, gory, a little goofy, excessively horny - but it's a fun ride throughout seeing the effects and wondering after the identity of the killer. Not necessarily good, but certainly fun.
