You say this is your favorite Fulci movie? Even better than The Beyond? How come it's so good?

I felt The Beyond was slightly hindered by its budget. I never had that issue with NY Ripper though. With a lot of Fulci's films, unfortunately, they didn't seem to live up to the hype, NY Ripper exceeded all of my expectations though. One of my favorite giallo villains too.

I was thinking of Duckling, but cool to see your views on New York Ripper as well. And I agree. It's a great movie.

But The Beyond is still my favorite Fulci flick. The ending alone is making this a classic.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. The Beyond didn't. New York Ripper did. Ignoring what made it controversial, it was a very good film. Very solid and well done.
