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?

Fulci can be really hit or me for me but I loved this. Absolutely bananas.
Maybe closer to a 3.5 but I rounded up. Gave me what I expected, lots of gore and nudity. There are a few shocking kill scenes. This was also borderline porn in a few parts. A better plot than most Fulci movies, although that is admittedly not a high bar. Does a good job of hiding the killer. I would recommend if you like Fulci, giallo, slashers, and/or if you like blood and boobs.
Weak.
Cheesy with melodramatic acting, but that's to be expected from an early 80s film noir/slasher. The plot twist regarding the killer's identity was clever and well thought out, which is impressive for what seemed to be a simple slasher film.
Good slasher movie. A few explicit scenes. Completely fooled me as to whodunnit until the very end.
