Welcome to Episode #14 of THE STACK!

Tonight we dive deep into the bowels of Severin's outstanding 4-disc release of one of the more notorious Italian exploitation films, made all the more notorious for its retitling by American distributors who made the blend of cannibals and zombies into... a slasher movie? As crazy as it sounds, and then some, with gore, guts, brains, breasts, and all the splatter that matters.

THE NEW YORK RIPPER (1982) Blu-ray Review

The New York Ripper (1982) d. Lucio Fulci (Italy) (93 min)

For the slasher fan sick of the heavy-breathing, hulking, mute brute and/or the wise-cracking chatterbox psycho, this skeevy little thriller from Italian gore maestro Fulci might be just what you’ve been seeking. Set in the Big Apple, women of “low moral character” are falling victim to a killer armed with razor blades, butcher knives, broken bottles, and… a Donald Duck voice. Burnt-out NYPD detective Fred Williams (Jack Hedley) wades through a cornucopia of screwball suspects from the decks of the Staten Island Ferry to the sex shows of Times Square, with each brutal murder a sadistic quack in his general direction.
