Aenigma 1987  N/R, 90 min.
Genre: Horror / Thriller
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Lara Naszinsky, Suzy Kendall, Caitlin O'Heaney, Jared Martin, Sophie d' Aulan, Milijana Zirojevic, Jennifer Naud, Lucio Fulci, Uli Reinthaler, Kathi Wise
While not quite the same level of gore that Fulci is noted for, there's still enough in this weak film. A student at a girl's school is in a coma as a result of a prank played on her at school. She makes a psychic link with another student and uses her to extract revenge.

 The Black Cat 1980 R, 92 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Patrick Magee, Mimsy Farmer, David Warbeck, Al Cliver, Dagmar Lassander, Bruno Corazzari, Geoffrey Copleston, Daniela Doria
Supposedly, this film is based on the Edgar Allan Poe story, but the title is about the only thing in common with Poe's work. A wheelchair-bound psychic (Patrick Magee) talks to the dead and to his cat and sends the cat out to take care of his enemies. But who is really in control–the cat or the man? Gore is mild by Lucio Fulci standards.

A Cat in the Brain 1990  R, 87 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror
aka: Midnight Concert
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Lucio Fulci, David L. Thompson, Jeoffrey Kennedy, Malisa Longo, Ria De Simone, Brett Halsey, Sacha Darwin, Robert Egon, Shillett Angel, Paul Muller, Paola Cozzo, Layla Frank, Georgia Moore, Marco Di Stafano, Maurice Poli
Director Lucio Fulci plays himself and is in the midst of making his new horror film. Unfortunately, he is going mad from all the gore he has created on the screen. Maybe a trip to a psychiatrist would be a good idea. Whoops, it wasn't a good idea because the psychiatrist (David L. Thompson) is worse off than Fulci and uses Fulci's visions to create real gore. About as bloody as it can get, with many clips from his earlier films.

Don't Torture a Duckling 1972  N/R, 102 min.
Genre: Foreign / Thriller
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Barbara Bouchet, Tomas Milian, Florinda Bolkan, Irene Papas, Marc Porel, Vito Passeri, Georges Wilson, Antonello Campodifiori, Andrea Aureli, Franco Balducci, Rosalia Maggio
After young boys are murdered in a quiet Sicilian town, various people are accused–including a magician (Florinda Bolkan) who practices voodoo and visitor Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet). Villagers take matters into their own hands, and Patrizia teams with newsman Andrea (Tomas Milian) to find out what's going on. Good, with some brutal scenes but not like the gory Fulci films to follow.

The townsfolk, wanting to rid the town of riff-raff, kick him and three losers out of town. The four travel together looking for people to swindle, but violence begins when they run across mean villain Chaco (Tomas Milian).

OK, we're talking cult classic here. The Boyle family (Catriona Macoll, Paolo Malco, and Giovanni Frezza) moves into a house near Boston and finds out quickly that there is an old man (Giovanni De Nava) in the basement who has kept himself alive for over 100 years–but he needs body parts to stay alive. A supreme helping of gore, as body parts fly.

Three young punks break into a house where they know a rich, elderly couple live. The fun begins after they kill the old folks and the clocks start moving backwards. Now, it's revenge time. Not as much gore as most of Fulci's films, but interesting story twists.

Meanwhile, his daughter Susie (Birgitta Boccoli) is in town where an old woman gives her an amulet that has great powers. Things get ugly when they get back to NYC. Speaking of ugly... Not as high on the gore scale as most of Fulci's other films.

Sleazy sex and gore are the ingredients of this film as police Lt. Williams (Jack Hedley) sets out after a crazed woman-killer (who quacks like a duck) while stalking the streets of NYC. The suspect, Mickey Scellenda (Howard Ross), has been seen in the company of some of the victims, but how many more victims will be claimed before the perpetrator is finally caught?

Carol (Florinda Bolkan), the daughter of an important English politician, has recurring nightmares of killing a neighbor libertine during all-night LSD orgies. When the neighbor is found dead, Carol is the prime suspect. Were those really dreams? This and many other questions are answered in one of Fulci's better films, which has many twists, turns, and red herrings.

Seven Doors of Death 1981 N/R, 88 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror / Thriller
aka: The Beyond
Director: Lucio Fulci

Louisiana, 1927. At a hotel a man is violently killed with his murderers accusing him of being a warlock. Now a young woman, Liza Merril (Catriona MacColl) in the 1960s is restoring the hotel. Terrible things happen as the restoration progresses at this hotel that sits on one of the Seven Gates of Hell. Really gross from a master (Lucio Fulci) of the low-budget genre and is not for all.

aka: Contraband
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Fabio Testi, Ivana Monti, Guido Alberti, Daniele Dublino, Venantino Venantini, Marcel Bozzuffi, Saverio Marconi, Tommaso Palladino, Ofelia Meyer, Ferdinando Murolo

But, before long, his gang members have either been assassinated or have been picked up by the police, and Luca must fight the rivals alone. Gore and violence are abundant in Fulci's departure from Horror films.

Zombie 1979  N/R, 91 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror
aka: Zombie 2
Zombie Flesh Eaters
Island of the Living Dead
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, Al Cliver, Aurella Gay, Stefania D'Amario, Olga Karlatos
I know, this is actually a Bomb, but in deference to Lucio Fulci cultists there must be some redeeming aspect of this entry in Fulci's Parade of Horrors. As zombies (that arrived by ship) are terrorizing NYC, a woman and her friends search for her father in the Caribbean. On an island they find a crazy scientist and flesh-hungry zombies all over the place. Slow and cheap. 1 User Review
